Let's all back up a minute and think about the true source of the problem .... poorly written specifications (if the developer even got one at all). When more emphasis is placed on requirements gathering and the development of a specification with use case scenarios and process flow charts, the end product is not only better, but there is less project/scope creep as well. A well written specification not only provides the business rules to the developer, it also guides the QA staff in the development of a testing plan. Wait, did I say testing plan? Yes, I certainly did. How many QA staff out there actually develop one for a major project so that they don't forget to test anything? This one certainly does!
