    we are a small software team of around 10 people and we are actually thinking of hiring QA people. Any ideas on how to start off a QA team since i have no idea about the QA tools being used in the market or what kind of expertise a candidate should have. Any ideas on how to go on about this?? we are basically working on Visual C++ 6.0 for the core part and Visual basic 6.0 for the GUI part. Also are there any books on this topic both specific to these tools and somewhat general books?? Also i've heard of PC-lint any one using that?? Thanks for your help.

      Hire someone with experience in QA who wants to run a QA deparment. QA departments do not care what tools you use (doesn't matter if you use visual C++ or fortran IV to them, they do their job exactly the same) They define the tools they need. In most cases tools are not a big help though, QA is the tedious work of running the program over and over again, each time you make a small change to make sure nothing broke. QA does not replace developers testing. Developers should not check anything in until they belive it will work correctly. LINT is for developers, not QA people. (it is a good idea) There are books on the topic, but I don't have any to recomend.
