Derivation of local software quality metrics (software quality circles)
Software: Practice and Experience, 1988AbstractSoftware is a product in serious need of quality control technology. Major effort notwithstanding, software engineering has produced few metrics for aspects of software quality that have the potential of being universally applicable. The present paper suggests that, although universal metrics are elusive, metrics that are applicable and useful ...

Software—where's the quality? [PDF]
Computing & Control Engineering Journal, 1993 There is such a multiplicity of software engineering initiatives that the possibility of overlaps and gaps must be a matter of concern. The question of what action might be taken by the IEE to ease the situation resulted in a ‘Workshop on Software Quality Management’ held last year. This article is an account of the Workshop.

A Software Quality Improvement Program
ACM SIGSOFT Software Engineering Notes, 1978In late 1976, the NCR Corporation undertook a large scale Quality Improvement Program for a major set of systems software. That software set included some 103 separate products totaling 1.3 million source lines. It included several operating systems, several compilers, peripheral software, data utilities and telecommunications handlers. This paper will

IEEE Journal on Selected Areas in Communications, 1990
The costs of quality for software, a methodology for the collection of costs, and how the costs of quality can be used to point the way toward quality improvement and significant cost reductions are discussed. Root cause analysis and corrective action using software costs of quality are described.

Software Quality, Software Process, and Software Testing
1995Abstract Software testing should play a major role in the definition and improvement of software development processes, because testing is the most precise, most easily measured, and most easily controlled part of the software lifecycle. However, unless testing goals are clearly related to true measurements of software quality, the testing may ...

The Meaning of Quality in Software
1989The popular view of quality is still a subjective concept which perpetuates the idea that the more elaborate and complex products somehow offer a higher level of quality than their humbler counterparts. Whilst this misconception is well understood amongst ‘quality’ professionals the temptation remains to equate sophistication, instead of simplicity of ...

The Chimera of Software Quality
Computer, 2007Despite years of computing progress, today's systems experience spectacular and all-too-frequent crashes, while many enormously expensive projects fail to produce anything useful. Of equal importance, and potentially more damaging, are the misleading smaller defects we tend to miss.

Industrial Management & Data Systems, 1990
With the recognition that consistent quality of a firm′s products will help ensure repeat orders and help build a good reputation, one company′s route to acquire NATO Quality Assurance Standards AQAP 1 and 13 is described. The planning of the route, the development of a Quality Management System and an assessment of the benefits resulting from ...

Software quality by administration
Software Quality Journal, 1998This paper examines the efficiency and effectiveness of a prescriptive systems development methodology in practice. The UK Government's mandatory Structured Systems Analysis and Design Method (SSADM) was examined to determine its value to software projects.
