“Building software is not like building cars - or is it?” & “Code Coverage”

“Building software is not like building cars - or is it?”

'Building software is not like building cars' is an oft quoted phrase still used by people in the software industry.

I will highlight similarities and differences of the two and hopefully you’ll gain an appreciation of a different viewpoint of the processes and practices that we all use everyday
