INTRODUCTION

Software has become an increasingly critical component for most businesses. It is used in everything from answering a telephone to managing a business, and its uses continue to grow.

Software engineering initially focused on improving productivity: How to build more software faster? This has led to millions of lines of code being written over the past ten years.

Now, as software has become an integral part of the success of a business, the focus has expanded beyond creating software faster to ensuring that the software works. Quality has become and will remain a critical component of all software projects. Users will no longer put up with poor quality software, and businesses can not afford to operate with unstable software. The only way to ensure quality in software is to establish and follow a quality assurance plan and employ solid testing techniques. Software Research provides the tools necessary to implement a sound testing program throughout the software development life-cycle. With the broadest range of testing products available today, SR is the right choice for companies serious about delivering high quality software.

Software Research, Inc., is a California corporation headquartered in San Francisco, California.
