The young and dynamic firm develops an innovative new financial trading platform that banks will use to buy and sell currencies. You are organized, have enough good people joining your team, and are busy defining the tests and test data that you will need to run to validate the platform. The software under test (SUT) will run on a distributed platform that has been designed to accommodate more and more subscribers. The chapter's key message is that you need to take immediate action to address trouble signs when you are able to read them. It suggests several ways to reward employees for superior performance.
