The Road Map to Quality
Many times, as a profession we get siloed and fail to look beyond certain essential steps of finding the bug or improving the quality of a process/ product in question. For all we know, an extra step (which perhaps only required us to use our common sense) would perhaps enhance the quality to much greater extent. For this to happen, understanding of the key features and advantages of investigation, especially from a wide cross section of fields will help professionals to think out-of-the-box and come up with innovative way of things they are already doing.
