Software Quality Transformation

If the above data is correct, software development is in a crisis a crisis of quality that finds IT organizations all too often unable to deliver applications on time, on budget, and at the quality levels users need. Poor development and testing processes result in wasted money and time, business disruption, lost business opportunities, security breaches and risk of regulatory noncompliance. To meet business needs, especially at a time when all parts of the business are being challenged to do more with less, companies need to radically transform how software development and testing is managed. This white paper explains how to achieve this transformation, by focusing on specific desired outcomes, and focusing efforts on improving only those processes that affect outcomes. This targeted approach saves money, increases effectiveness, and helps both the IT organization and the enterprise become more competitive.
