Man and the machine ….

Can a software be produced and maintained using a machines in a factory … like Google does?
Notice, with their machinery and factory setup, they have been able to cut down the testing cycle to 4 minutes… Sounds unbelievable .. I think it is ..
Google produces Innovation machines and IT vendors set up factories… So back to Factories and start oiling machines. Probably we should change IT designations to map roles on assembly line shop floor … – foreman, supervisor (this is there already in some sense), operator, inventory manager, assembler…. As few expect, IT work will eventually be a factory job. For one, my wife and kids would be happy. I can then work in shifts and come back home at sharp, say 5:30.
It is interesting to watch what Google is doing ….though their innovation factory recently had an outage…. With “Buzz” having “bugs” related to privacy…
You know what … as a tester, bugs make me happy… that is an eccentric , one sided view …especially with those who boast “machines and factories” of software. After all we are very far from the day when truly software will be produced in machines, requirements will be read from humans through bar-code type readers, we would be able recall software as cars (instead of sending a patch) and there would software garages.
Dreaming …!!! Someone woke me up… It is a brand new Monday….
