CAJ 014-Rick Spiewak


  • Speaker: Rick Spiewak

  • Topic: Principles for Constructing Quality Software: A Fundamental Approach

  • Date/Time:

  • Mon, August 21st, 5:00 ET

  • Description:

Software can be considered a product whose production is fundamentally similar to other products. Improving the quality of software can be approached using the same basic principles espoused by quality pioneers such as W. Edwards Deming, Philip B. Crosby, and Harold F. Dodge. These principles can form a practical framework for ensuring that appropriate requirements are set for software development projects. By connecting established software engineering practices to the objective of defect prevention, we can apply the principles of quality management to software development. Using modeling techniques, it is possible to predict the potential cost savings and defect reduction expected.
