well, it may be america's fault a little, but it is definitely rooted in the triad of competing concerns that include "time to market", "cost vs. value" and "product quality".very well put and true.mikemc wrote:It can still happen regardless of which platform is selected as the reference platform.

Taking any of these to the extreme is going to imbalance the final product: you can spend tons of time on quality assurance and release a quality product that is outmoded by the time it gets to market. You can be really cheap with your costs and come up with a product that is crappy, but you still make money. You can rush your product to market and end up having quality issues.
If your product is upgraded annually with new features, each upgrade accretes more code even if it is well managed, which means more things that can go wrong. It stand to reason that if you accrete less code per release, you ensure that your quality cycle is more controlled, but you end up with fewer features.
So you have to plan to include the features that provide the best cost vs. value and ascertain the impact on the quality cycle for each release.

Not the best method for developers, but I have to have some sanity with this.
