Software testers say "waterfall" is as popular as "agile"

Did you know that the waterfall model is as popular as agile? That only 7% of software testers keep track of the cost of testing? Or that 12% of software testers prefer classical music? How does the salary of software testers compare to others in their job and age range? What percentage of tools end up as shelfware?

The answers to these questions and are found in a survey by Grove Consultants, which was carried out at the 2007 EuroSTAR software testing conference in Stockholm, using hand-held wireless voting units.
