271 ;;Quote: test programmer productivity with the Coding War Games; work in pairs from same specification, exchange programs for testing after desk-check and compilation
272 ;;Quote: programmers who did not use large modules had 38% fewer defects and were nearly twice as likely to pass the acid test
272 ;;Quote: programmers who used more local variables than average had 63% fewer errors
273 ;;Quote: programmers who used functional binding when it was natural were nearly twice as likely to pass the acid test
273 ;;Quote: programmers in the Coding War Games complained about the total separation of coding and testing; but a third delivered zero-defect products
273 ;;Quote: most programmers in the Coding War Games restricted gotos to emergency exits and loop exits
273 ;;Quote: despite using a strong, centrally enforced methodology, there was no convergence of design concepts between separate implementations of the same specification
274 ;;Quote: program length is not a useful measure; ten-to-one variation for programs in the same language written to the same specification
