Chapter 4 - Software Process and Project Metrics Overview • Software process and project metrics are quantitative measures that enable software engineers to gain insight into the efficiency of the software process and the projects conducted using the process framework. In software project management‚ we are primarily concerned with productivity and quality metrics. The four reasons for measuring software processes‚ products‚ and resources (to characterize‚ to evaluate‚ to predict‚ and to improve)

In respect to quality of materials‚ there are three well known philosophers whom are most referenced: W. Edwards Deming‚ Philip B. Crosby‚ and Joseph M. Juran. Throughout the twentieth century‚ these three men have continuously integrated new systems for improvement in the quality system. The first and probably most well known of these philosophers is W. Edwards Deming. Deming first came into the public eye when he was credited with assisting the Japanese after World War II and helping to elevate

Issues—The Software Crisis 1. Introduction to Chapter The term "software crisis" has been used since the late 1960s to describe those recurring system development problems in which software development problems cause the entire system to be late‚ over budget‚ not responsive to the user and/or customer requirements‚ and difficult to use‚ maintain‚ and enhance. The late Dr. Winston Royce‚ in his paper Current Problems [1]‚ emphasized this situation when he said in 1991: The construction of new software that

Experiences in Delivering Project with Zero Defects Srikanth Rao Usual Reactions on Zero Defects in Software Projects “Are you kidding me?. It is a miracle. How can we expect zero defects in software development? It is harder to define‚ harder to test‚ harder to predict results. Bugs is a perfectly normal thing‚ we can’t bring them to zero. But we should minimize them using all possible ways. ”The Last Bug is a mirage” Like any other PM‚ I started with a “Zero Defects Mentality” which

SOFTWARE TESTING Q4. (a) Is functional testing sufficient to determine code coverage? Answer: No‚ functional testing is not sufficient to determine code coverage. In testing when we refer to code coverage we are talking about how much of the code is being covered/executed/tested during test execution. So the goal behind code coverage is to determine areas that are not being tested and creating tests that can cover these gaps. Structural and functional testing can be used to determine
