    Ah, the dreaded "Netscape Defense". This poor company did an almost supernatural amount of damage to its reputation through their "testing" methodology:

    
    

    
    
    1. when the programmers are about halfway done, release the software on the web without any testing.
       
    2. when the programmers say they are done, release the software on the web without any testing.
       
    3. repeat six or seven times.
       
    4. call one of those versions the "final version"
       
    5. release .01, .02, .03 versions every time an embarrassing bug is mentioned on c|net.
