Abstract

This book will help you manage and control the quality of your organization's software products. Continually dealing with the problems caused by software defects can be both time-consuming and demanding, but Sami Zahran's pragmatic approach will take you from reactive fire-fighting to a preventative culture of disciplined and continuous process improvement.

This book will help you:

  • establish a process-focused software development organization
  • design and implement procedures for developing quality software in time and within budge
  • benchmark your organization against the industry standards for the software process, including the Capability Maturity Model (CMM), ISO 9001, the new standard ISO/IEC 15504 (originally known as SPICE) and Bootstrap
