Assessing the Quality of Large, Software-Intensive Systems: A Case Study

This paper presents a case study in carrying out an audit of a large, software-intensive system. We discuss our experience in structuring the team for obtaining maximum effectiveness under a short deadline. We also discuss the goals of an audit, the methods of gathering and assimilating information, and specific lines of inquiry to be followed. We present observations on our approach in light of our experience and feedback from the customer.
