Software Quality

Vol. 33, No. 1, 1994

Order No. G321-0115
 
The acceptance of software, from the mundane to the complex, depends fundamentally on the degree of quality evidenced by that software. Knowledge about software quality and the ability to practice it have been progressing slowly but inexorably throughout the industry. This issue presents a broad view of progress in software quality, with a focus on IBM's worldwide efforts and results. There are eleven contributions, including an overview on software quality and discussions of process, methods, tools, case histories, management, and challenges for the future.
