Webinar #1: December 6, 2011, 1:00 - 2:00 PM ET

The State of Software Quality in 2011

Featured Speaker: Capers Jones
Founder and Chief Scientist Emeritus
Software Productivity Research, LLC
President, Capers Jones & Associates LLC

U.S. software averages about 5 defects per function point, with about 85% of these being removed prior to delivery. That leaves 15% of the defects in the software that gets delivered to customers!
In this webinar, Capers will talk about known factors that influence software quality results, including methodologies, tools, and staffing levels. Capers will use the function point metric for quantifying quality results, discuss the 8 software quality metrics that matter, and present empirical data about the impact of major quality approaches, such as:

Six-sigma
TSO/TSP
Clean room methods
ISO certification
Software Engineering Institute (SEI) capability (CMM) level concept
Factors that impact overall quality levels

Capers will also share some empirical data on software quality levels within a number of industries and in all major industrialized countries.

How the re-birth of static code analysis makes removing bugs cheap and easy
Using code coverage metrics to help quantify confidence
Testing benefits of continuous integration
Agile contributions for automated functional testing
How Agile supports high-quality, lightweight requirements
Benefits of stakeholder review of test conditions
Reducing the dreaded test crunch with a sustainable workload
How Agile methodologies control technical debt and why that matters for testing

Attend this webinar to learn from a true industry luminary what key testing opportunities are created by the Agile approach, so that you can recognize and take advantage of them.
