Software quality management and process improvement with the MODAL development methodology
Jorja Brittany Wright · 1994
The paper describes the adaptation of an existing software development methodology in order to introduce a number of software metrics intended to increase visibility of the development process and guide quality actions at the project and divisional levels. The chosen indicators are described, together with some initial experiences gathered from a pilot project responsible for validating the approach taken. A number of lessons learned are described, particularly relating to data collection and the need to carefully define elements of the programme in order to gain acceptance by the development team. 1.
