Toward a quality inspection method and management

Abstract

The paper presents some definitions of quality and relates them to the efforts of the USAF Rome Laboratory Software Quality Technology Transfer Consortium (SQTTC) and the Rome Laboratory Software Quality Framework (RLSQF). The paper suggests that the RLSQF might be profitably modified to focus on the use of defect data obtained during the verification activities (inspections and tests) of the software development process.
