The four curves of success in product launches. I am struggling with making a leap of faith to possibly launch some software products of my own. Over the years, I have built the same type of thing for many clients over and over. In different langauges, platforms, databases, etc. There are also numerous off the shelf products that do the same thing. I know if I took one of these applications and fleshed it out, 3 clients would immediately buy into it. But then what? I'd need some sort of salesman to keep the licensing sales up so I could cost effectively maintain and extend the product offering.
Then again, this is part of the excitment of building your own business.

Automated tests are necessary, and automated unit tests in particular are a wonderful design aid. But ultimately they only test the things you know to test. It’s the other things that get your knees wobbling (you’ll have to read the story). Related...
