glitch makes national
news. Just a few weeks
ago, I read in the paper

(NIST) estimates that
application errors cost
the U.S. economy $59.5
billion per year. Because
nearly 80 percent of such
errors are discovered
after applications have
been put into production,
exceptions also have a
significant impact on the
productivity and
effectiveness of your IT
staff and production
support teams. And that's
to say nothing of
foregone revenue due to
poor customer service.
