Testing Products Before They
Are Shipped: Note that a product does not need to be finished
before it can be submitted for testing. On the contrary, a
product can be tested (and generally should be tested) as soon as
its Office Compatible 97 features are complete and reasonably bug
free. This lets vendors complete testing early (and in parallel
with other product development activities), so Office Compatible
testing should never become a constraint on their release date.
