Software Reviews

Software reviews are the filter for the software engineering process. They re applied at various different points and serve to uncover errors that can be removed and help to purify the software engineering activities.
In this context it is useful to look at the “V-model” of software development. This model emphasizes that SQA is a function performed at all stages of software development life cycle. At the initial stages (requirement, architecture, design, code), it is achieved through activities known as Formal Technical Reviews or FTR. At the later stages (integration and acceptance), testing comes into picture.

Interpreting Measurements

A good metric system is the one which is simple and cheap and at the same time adds a lot of value for the management. Following are some of the examples that can be used for effective project control and management.

We can collect data about the defects reported, and defects fixed and plot them in the following manner, with their difference showing the defects yet to be fixed. This can give us useful information about the state of the product. If the gap between the defects reported and defects fixed is increasing, then it means that the product is in unstable condition. On the other hand if this gap is decreasing then we can say that the product is in a stable condition and we can plan for shipment.
