9780442007942: Total Quality Management for Software (Vnr Computer Library)

Synopsis

Although the material in this book is quite useful, it is hard to justify $64.95 for a collection of papers that cover material readily available elsewhere. There is no attempt by the editors to draw the material together; but they did put together a collection of first-rate experts, and there may be a single chapter that is particularly useful for a specific manager or analyst.

Synopsis

Quality has become a critical issue for thousands of companies, and no software development firm can successfully commit to quality without a results-driven Total Quality Management (TQM) program. This single volume unifies the principles of TQM and gives software and firmware developers and testers the practical guidance to initiate and maintain continuous quality improvement through every software development process. It shows how to create and sustain a company-wide software development integrity program whose goal is achieving zero defect software. To accomplish this objective, the authors asses software-risk mitigation strategies, explain cleanroom software development techniques, and show how Deming's quality function deployment, Just-in-time (JIT) methodologies, causal analysis, and statistical process control can be successfully applied to software development and reusability processes. Readers will find expert discussions of DoD quality requirements. This book should be of interest to software engineers and quality managers.
