When I was in college (undergrad), my final thesis

was about "Quality Assurance" and part of it was published in a book that later became the "bible of software testing" in China (not because how good I was but because my professor was the top one in this area).  Maybe that kind of explained why I was mad when that manager ignored his bugs in his product.  Before graduated I even thought of working on "Quality Assurance" field before I knew what it really was like...:)  But writing a testing program is much better I would say.
