Microsoft recruits patch testers
C|Net | at | by Mike
Microsoft is recruiting software testers to vet the company's patches before monthly fixes are released to the public, the software giant announced this week.
The Security Update Validation Program lets selected corporate customers and consultants test Microsoft's software patches. However, the company has made the program invitation-only and does not expect to involve a large number of testers, said Debby Fry Wilson, director of the Microsoft Security Response Center.
