  9. NIRVANA? today challenges remain Lack of a practical working definition of what "quality” means for software Lack of quality measurements Lack of understanding by senior and project management that quality is on target Inadequate use of reviews and inspections Inadequate defect prevention Insufficient or careless testing Excessive scheduling pressure leading to unwise attempts to short-cut quality control Unstable and ambiguous user requirements Historical Attention-Span Deficit Disorder
