Excerpt from The Economics of Software Quality Assurance: A System Dynamics Based Simulation Approach
The Human Resource Management Subsystem captures the hiring, training, assimilation, and transfer of the project's human resource. Such actions are not carried out in vacuum, but, as Figure 1 suggests, they are affected by the other subsystems. For example, the project's hiring rate is a function of the workforce level needed to complete the project on a certain planned completion date. Similarly, what workforce is available has direct.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book explores the significance of quality assurance (QA) in software development, emphasizing its positive impact on successful project delivery. It argues that QA is not merely a cost but an investment that can lead to substantial savings by detecting and correcting errors early in the development process, thereby avoiding costly rework and system testing expenses. The book presents an integrative System Dynamics model of the software development process, capturing the multiple functions and dynamics involved, including error generation, detection, and correction. Through simulation experiments, the author demonstrates the tradeoffs between QA effort and total project cost, highlighting the existence of an optimal QA expenditure level. This book provides valuable insights for software quality managers, project managers, and anyone involved in software development. It offers a comprehensive understanding of the economics of QA, enabling readers to make informed decisions about QA policy and optimize project outcomes. Its rigorous analysis and practical implications make it an essential resource for improving software quality and reducing development costs.
