At the same time, the quality of US products declined. Japanese's success is credited to one man — [Dr. W. Edwards Deming](https://deming.org/deming/deming-the-man?utm%5Fcampaign=Software%2BTesting%2BWeekly&utm%5Fsource=Software%5FTesting%5FWeekly%5F6) — the father of quality management. This week, I've stumbled upon this great documentary from 1980 titled [If Japan can, why can't we?](https://www.youtube.com/watch?utm%5Fcampaign=Software%2BTesting%2BWeekly&utm%5Fsource=Software%5FTesting%5FWeekly%5F6&v=vcG%5FPmt%5FNy4). While not directly related to software testing, it gives amazing insights into how management style, worker's satisfaction and statistical analysis can contribute to increased production and a higher quality of the product.**2/** Just a week ago we laughed at Iowa Democratic Caucus app debacle, but now it's about something more serious. Boeing is having a really bad time. Last year, the infamous 737 MAX airplanes crashes killed 346 people. Last week, their Starliner crew module was [close to a disaster](https://www.washingtonpost.com/technology/2020/02/07/boeing-starliner-software-problems/?utm%5Fcampaign=Software%2BTesting%2BWeekly&utm%5Fsource=Software%5FTesting%5FWeekly%5F6). **Both are said to be due to software errors**. As NASA says about the latter: *"There were numerous instances where the Boeing software quality processes either should have or could have uncovered the defects."*.TL;DR: Testing is important, but building the quality in is crucial. 🙏*[Dawid Dylowicz](https://twitter.com/ddylowicz?utm%5Fcampaign=Software%2BTesting%2BWeekly&utm%5Fsource=Software%5FTesting%5FWeekly%5F6)* | | | | NEWS | | [Testing and Quality: Correlation does not equal Causation](https://medium.com/@theresaneate/testing-and-quality-correlation-does-not-equal-causation-f34229a1bbae?utm%5Fcampaign=Software%2BTesting%2BWeekly&utm%5Fsource=Software%5FTesting%5FWeekly%5F6)Great article by [Theresa Neate](https://twitter.com/TheresaNeate?utm%5Fcampaign=Software%2BTesting%2BWeekly&utm%5Fsource=Software%5FTesting%5FWeekly%5F6) on why more testing does not equate to higher quality, including tons of pieces of practical advice.
