1.2.1: Software Reliability
Improving Software Reliability Other Information:
When developing reliable software, outsourcers and developers must consult each other thoroughly to clearly establish the
requirements and deadlines, and manage quality and costs. In the past, software development often began without a clear purpose
for the end product. This led to scheduling problems, overblown budgets and an unusable product. However, it is hard to achieve
improvements when multiple companies are involved because development know-how is a closely guarded asset for each company.
As a public institution unbiased towards any entity, IPA has highlighted these problem areas and is working to improve software
reliability by providing ‘yardstick' tools, which visibly measure quality.
