商品描述

“Whether consulting, working on projects, or teaching, whenever I need credible, detailed, relevant metrics and insights into the current capabilities and performance of the software engineering profession, I always turn first to Capers Jones’ work. In this important new book, he and Olivier Bonsignour make the hard-headed, bottom-line, economic case, with facts and data, about why software quality is so important. I know I’ll turn to this excellent reference again and again.”

—Rex Black, President, RBCS

 

Poor quality continues to bedevil large-scale development projects, but few software leaders and practitioners know how to measure quality, select quality best practices, or cost-justify their usage. In The Economics of Software Quality, leading software quality experts Capers Jones and Olivier Bonsignour show how to systematically measure the economic impact of quality and how to use this information to deliver far more business value.

 

Using empirical data from hundreds of software organizations, Jones and Bonsignour show how integrated inspection, structural quality measurement, static analysis, and testing can achieve defect removal rates exceeding 95 percent. They offer innovative guidance for predicting and measuring defects and quality; choosing defect prevention, pre-test defect removal, and testing methods; and optimizing post-release defect reporting and repair.

 

This book will help you

  • Move beyond functional quality to quantify non-functional and structural quality
  • Prove that improved software quality translates into strongly positive ROI and greatly reduced TCO
  • Drive better results from current investments in Quality Assurance and Testing
  • Use quality improvement techniques to stay on schedule and on budget
  • Avoid “hazardous” metrics that lead to poor decisions

商品描述(中文翻譯)

「無論是諮詢、專案工作還是教學,每當我需要可信、詳細且相關的指標和洞察力來了解軟體工程專業的當前能力和表現時,我總是首先求助於Capers Jones的作品。在這本重要的新書中,他和Olivier Bonsignour以事實和數據為基礎,提出了軟體品質如此重要的硬頭經濟案例。我知道我會一次又一次地翻閱這本優秀的參考書。」——Rex Black,RBCS總裁

大型開發項目仍然受到品質不佳的困擾,但很少有軟體領導者和從業人員知道如何衡量品質、選擇品質最佳實踐方法,或者為其使用提供成本合理化的理由。在《軟體品質經濟學》這本領先的軟體品質專家Capers Jones和Olivier Bonsignour展示了如何系統地衡量品質的經濟影響,以及如何利用這些信息提供更多商業價值。

Jones和Bonsignour利用數百個軟體組織的實證數據,展示了如何通過整合檢查、結構品質測量、靜態分析和測試來實現超過95%的缺陷去除率。他們提供了創新的指導,用於預測和測量缺陷和品質;選擇缺陷預防、測試前缺陷去除和測試方法;以及優化發布後的缺陷報告和修復。

這本書將幫助您:
- 超越功能品質,量化非功能和結構品質
- 證明改善軟體品質能帶來極為正面的投資回報率和大幅降低總擁有成本
- 從現有的品質保證和測試投資中獲得更好的結果
- 使用品質改進技術保持進度和預算
- 避免導致糟糕決策的「危險」指標
