91 ;;Quote: software requires a lot of maintenance because it is difficult to develop systems which are correct and capable
100 ;;Quote: in top-down design, a proper top can execute early in development; allows iterative process of code, integrate, and test
101 ;;Quote: debugging tools can not take the place of good programming; programs should be correct to begin with
102 ;;Quote: measure testing effectiveness by error days, i.e., the number of days from creation of an error to its detection
103 ;;Quote: software should be designed-to-cost since the cost of programming a function can vary widely
103 ;;Quote: basic functions form a small fraction of a software system; most is spent in the user interface, error handling, etc.; easily prioritized
