Many texts say that SQA should have a seperate reporting structure to
senior management than design.  I THINK THIS IS WRONG!  Quality is dependent
on the customers perception and is embedded in the design and production of
the software and thus the SQA function should be as close to the product as
possible.  Therefore it should be reporting to the same management as design!

Any comments?
