Open source projects have much lower management and process overhead than commercial efforts. When commercial teams "gell" they can achieve huge productivity gains a cross the product lifecycle. Recent neuroscience shows that stress impai rs cognition in ways that fit precisely with practical experience. By re ducing stress and building self-confidence we can improve productivity.

More and more enterprise code is being created inside the database. Often this code slips by with few if any automated tests. It is as if there is some exception for databas e code that frees it from having to be properly wrapped in tests. The PL /SQL Unit Testing for Oracle (PLUTO) framework was built to provide a JU nit-like interface for PL/SQL programmers to properly test their code.
