Microsoft's lack of quality control is out of control
The Register's opinion piece critiques Microsoft's declining quality control, once legendary, now infamous for repeated issues like Azure outages and problematic Windows updates. The company's shift from traditional testing to Agile methodologies, including layoffs of testers, is blamed for the decline. Despite slowing down release cadences, quality has not improved, leading to frequent service disruptions and user frustration. The article questions Microsoft's competence and suggests the term 'legendary approach to quality control' should be retired.
