Abstract: | Some companies today are reporting increases in software productivity and quality as high as 1,000% using quality approaches pioneered in other industries. The goals of this special section are to offer guidance to those interested in learning about these quality improvement approaches in software development, and to examine the payoff of software quality improvement efforts based on recent experiences. Although the concept of quality is fairly simple, the complex of methods , tools, attitudes, and values involved in providing high-quality products and services is not. |
