A Software Quality Improvement Program
Donald A. Woodmancy · 1978
In late 1976, the NCR Corporation undertook a large scale Quality Improvement Program for a major set of systems software. That software set included some 103 separate products totaling 1.3 million source lines. It included several operating systems, several compilers, peripheral software, data utilities and telecommunications handlers. This paper will describe that effort and its results. The research and planning that were done to define the program will be described. The means by which the program was implemented will be discussed in detail. Finally, some results of the program will be identified.
