G. Legall, Meor Adam, M. Lepallec, Bernard Moreau · WIT transactions on information and communication technologies · 1970
Since the beginning of the 1 980s CNET Lannion has carried out studies on the quality of software (Adam [1] , Le Gall [2]). Clients and suppliers now agree that quality should be seen as a basic requirement which serves to support and extend the activities geared towards increasing productivity and competitiveness. It follows then that quality control of a piece of software must not only be specified, planned and then applied but also assessed from a financial point of view in order to judge its profitability.
