Prediciton: out with traditional testing models

There is an interesting article on "The year head: The shift to scripting and agility" from Java World. As you'd expect from the title it is predicting a move from formal methods and requirements to agile scripting and frequent releases. But is also contains a prediction on agile software testing:

"Also out the window this year: traditional testing models, in which QA and security validation is performed after coding is complete. That said, companies will spend too much time and money on traditional testing and on patch-and-fix deployment of security updates because they won't spend enough on integrating strict vulnerability and functional testing into every phase of development. Traditional post-development acceptance testing will still be necessary, but by integrating testing throughout the design and coding process, you will shorten test-and-fix cycles considerably, freeing your team up to deliver more apps faster."

Let's hope that the author really is a genuine clairyovant.
