&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;To my mind, software goes from a development build, to a milestone build and finally to a release build.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;...&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;Each of those stages needs more rigorous QA than the previous level.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Why?&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;I prefer to move QA into the development process itself (from the design stage through implementation and to exploratory testing) in order to &lt;em&gt;avoid&lt;/em&gt; all of the falderol around different types of builds.&lt;/p&gt;</field>
