1.2.2: Software Development

Supporting Quality Software Development

Other Information:

IPA seeks to solve issues in all areas of software development. Enterprise software: Enterprise software supports infrastructure, such as railways and electricity. IPA is promoting the streamlining and spread of administration procedures in this area, including efficient procedures for developing reliable information systems, as well as transparency (visibility) and measurement (status quo analysis) in a field involving many large-scale systems. Embedded software: Embedded software is built into household appliance, automobiles and other devices, and serves to operate (control) its host device. Since the software quality is linked to the product quality, IPA is working in this field to streamline and spread practical development procedures to efficiently develop quality embedded software. Integrated Software: Integrated software interconnects various pieces of software and operates on networks. Due to the recent increase in the importance of this field, IPA is working to spread and promote reliable software development and administration technology, which places importance on the planning stage, and measures to improve reliability.
