(Source: Computerworld) Using extreme programming practices, Sabre Airline
Solutions has reduced bugs and development times for its software products.
Sabre Airline Solutions had many years of experience with its AirFlite
Profit Manager, a big modeling and forecasting package that many airlines
use to wring more income out of flight schedules. Even so, Release 8 of the
software was four months late in 2000 after final system testing turned up
300 bugs. The first customer found 26 more bugs in the first three days of
its acceptance testing, and subsequent joint testing by Sabre and the
customer uncovered an additional 200 defects. www.computerworld.com/softwaretopics/software/story/0,10801,91646,00.html
