Sarbanes-Oxley & Writing bug-free code *Sarbanes-Oxley is a recent legislation that aims to bring honesty and clarity to financial reporting. It's impact on the financial services industry is as large HIPAA is for the healthcare industry. *S-O has deep implications for the IS/IT financial systems - requiring considerable overhaul and updates [CW 04.14.03] Writing bug-free code is a mandate - the maintenance & support costs of a system are rising tremendously. I have been reviewing Test-First Development, albeit it's controversial but for now, anything that lowers maintenance costs are welcome. 8:56:05 AM
