Development Plans
Quality Plans
Introduction
• Development and quality standards (ISO 9000.3
and CMM) require viable plans.
– We will discuss ISO 9000.3 and CMM and CMMi
in considerable detail later.
Can show these in GANTT charts, which shows various activities by horizontal bars and whose
lengths are proportional to the activity’s duration.
Can use PERT and CPM and other activities to communicate activities, durations,
deliverable dates, …
Can use more modern tools too, like IBM’s Rational Team Concert (RTC)
1. Product complexity:
It is the number of operational modes the product
permits. Normally an industrial product allows
only less than a few 1000 modes of operation .
However, software packages allow millions of
operational possibilities. Hence, assuring of all
these operational possibilities correctly is a
major challenge to the software industry.
2. Product visibility:
Since the industrial products are visible, most of
its defects can be detected during the
manufacturing process. Also the absence of a
part in an industrial product can be easily
detected. However, the defects in software
products which are stored on diskettes or CDs
are invisible.
