Toward Zero-defect Programming


Book Description

Toward Zero-Defect Programming describes current methods for writing (nearly) bug-free programs. These methods are based on practices developed at IBM and elsewhere under the name Cleanroom Software Engineering. The successful application of these methods in commercial projects over the past fifteen years has produced defect rates that are, at least, an order of magnitude lower than industry averages. Remarkably, this reduction in defects comes at no net cost; on the contrary, it is often accompanied by increased productivity and shorter overall development time. In a concise and well-illustrated presentation, Stavely shows how these methods can be applied in three key areas of software development: 1. specification, 2. verification, and 3. testing.




The Zero Defects Option


Book Description

"The Zero Defects Option" was written to explain the leader's role in producing error-free products and services. It is the only book that correctly explains the Zero Defects (ZD) concept and contains the Seven Principles of Defect Prevention that make ZD work.




Zero Quality Control


Book Description

A combination of source inspection and mistake-proofing devices is the only method to get you to zero defects. Shigeo Shingo shows you how this proven system for reducing errors turns out the highest quality products in the shortest period of time. Shingo provides 112 specific examples of poka-yoke development devices on the shop floor, most of them costing less than $100 to implement. He also discusses inspection systems, quality control circles, and the function of management with regard to inspection.







Software Inspection


Book Description

Gilb and Graham show software professionals how to achieve high-quality software through inspection. They show how to do a formal review of documents to find errors, giving effective statistical process improvement. The book includes many examples and case studies based on actual experience at IBM, AT&T, McDonnell Douglas, and other companies.




Reach Zero Defects In Your Software


Book Description

The book will help you to produce better Software-QualitySoftware defect prevention and software quality have been constantly improved over the past years, e.g. by applying various methods and measures and using modern programming languages.As the complexity and the scale of the software (SW) that has to designed are continually growing, it is necessary for the software quality to keep in step with this development. However, keeping in step is not enough because software applications are used more and more in security-related areas where e.g. human lives are at risk.One aspect of a further optimization of SW quality therefore is the determination of the success criteria that lead to a further prevention of errors. This prevention of software errors is especially important in the initial phases of software development.The following text therefore shows the essential success criteria for reducing errors and consequently further improving SW quality. The author determined these success criteria in an extensive analysis, e.g. by thorough review of relevant literature, results of congresses on SW quality, interviews and considerable own professional experience.In the interviews with 18 experts in 3 countries, the determined success criteria were assessed regarding their importance, effectiveness and degree of networking. The results are shown in various figures and also explained.Other analyses of the success criteria will be / have already been published by the author on Amazon.com/.de.The assessment of the success criteria enables the reader and user of these criteria to set the right priorities for the optimization of SW quality during software development.




Systems, Software, and Quality Engineering


Book Description

A groundbreaking approach to quality management in software engineering. Using accessible language which does not require advanced mathematical skills, this indispensable reference provides software professionals with strategy for analyzing, anticipating, and correcting defects in complex software systems.




The Nature of Purchasing


Book Description

This book was created in the spirit of learning from nature in the field of professional purchasing. It describes real-world purchasing problems faced by companies as well as individuals and presents natural hands-on solutions that apply scientific approaches. The book answers what the core of purchasing could be, the inner structure of it or in other words the natural way. Nature masters effectiveness based on immanent laws and ensures efficiency by best results for minimal invest. Especially in complex and ambiguous situations, purchasers benefit from this book by understanding the broader context with the help of recent scientific research. Focusing on the problems that purchasers face in managerial practice rather than oversimplified generalizations, the book features step-by-step explanations, allowing readers to find tailored solutions to address challenges in key purchasing areas. The book was written in collaboration and with the help of experts in purchasing and logistics, biology, law and economics, human resource development, media and sports, and merges perspectives from theory and practice to provide natural strategies for purchasers.




Quality is Free
