Current Software Quality, Software Quality, Software Testing
Grady Booch interviews SEI Fellow Watts Humphrey about his early life and formative experiences. In part 1, Humphrey explains why modern software quality is truly terrible, why he failed 1st grade, and why his dad bought him a Model T Ford when he was eight years old.
This interview was provided courtesy of the Computer History Museum.
Grady Booch: So welcome. This is Grady Booch. I'm here with Watts Humphrey and we're connecting via Skype because we're both in different parts of the world. Here we are on a morning of Wednesday, June 17 for an oral history on behalf of the Computer History Museum. So welcome Watts. Thank you very much for joining me. It's been a long time since you and I have seen one another face to face, so I'm just utterly delighted to have the opportunity to converse with you, so thank you for joining us.
Watts Humphrey: I'm delighted and honored to be interviewed, and particularly by you. It's been 20 years since we were last together and I'm delighted to meet with you again.
Booch: Twenty years. Oh, my goodness. Time moves quickly, doesn't it? Wow. Of course I have as much as hair and I'm as virile as I looked 20 years ago.
Humphrey: I can see that.
Booch: So let's begin. I'm going to start off with just some general philosophical questions here and then want to dive into just your life and how you got to where you are and then we'll end up with where you think the world is going. You're often considered by many as — I think you're called either the grandfather or the father or the godfather of [software] quality. There are various monikers given to you and, indeed, you've been honored by the president by receiving the National Medal of Technology back in — that was 2003, was it not?
Humphrey: It was the 2003 medal. They actually didn't award it until 2005. There'd been a few things going on then and President Bush didn't have time but it was a marvelous event.
