• A tape on  "The 6 Most Common Problems with the Software Validation and Verification (V & V) Processes and ways to address them". In 2001 Software bugs cost the US economy $59.5 billion annually. About a third of the losses ($22.2 billion could have been avoided with a good V&V program. (Advisor.com 25 June 2002). To achieve a good V&V program an organization must address the major problems that creep into the V&V process, and reach a balance between not doing any V&V and testing for 25 years.
