Sven Johann talks with Bill Curtis about Software Quality. They start with what software quality is and then discuss examples of systems which failed to achieve the quality goals (e.g. ObamaCare) and it's consequences. They then go on with the role of architecture in the overall quality of the system and how to achieve it in an agile environment.
