Waterfall in schools

April 23, 2006 by Artem

Grig Gheorghiu tells about the funny experience of interviewing the graduates for a QA position. All of the candidates have been taught only a waterfall method.

He said they spent a lot of time writing design documents, and since they *only* had one semester for the whole project, they almost didn't get to code at all. I couldn't help laughing at that point, and I told him that maybe that should have been a red flag concerning the validity of the Waterfall methodology.
