A student had asked a question refering to the time associated with pulling additional resources in to increase the testing effort. I don't think that I made myself clear in the presentation. The additional resources (testers) already have testing experience so the learning curve is minimal (little or no time to get going on testing), most of our white box testing is done with the developers of that release, not all of the developers are involved in white box testing. Pulling additional resources would mean that the non-testing developers of that release would be pulled in first and then other people that are freeing up from other releases would be pulled in to help out if needed. In most cases the current release's developers are sufficient to increase our testing effort. I hope that this helps to explain the question that the student had with my presentation. Let me know if there is anything that needs additional explaination. Tony
