I wrote recently about deployment and I got some followup questions about managing database changes when you've got multiple versions of code hanging around.

There are two things you need to come to terms with:

• There is no silver bullet

• Rigid process is required

When I get asked about tools for quality assurance, I will pretty much always mention that the technology is not the answer. In my experience, the best improvements in quality come from process, from letting as many people as possible have access to all aspects of the system as early and often as possible.
