Similarly, writing code _and_ documetation is about twice as expensive as writing the code alone. But the redundancy makes it possible to achieve much greater reliability. Also maintainability and extensibility.
Excellent points. The developement process needs to address communities other than the folk writing the code ... like the people who inherit that code, and the ones trying to use it. (Testing being a rather specialize type of "use".)
