Description and Table of Contents

Description

This text contains the papers which were presented at the Software Quality Management '93 conference held in Southampton, in March 1993. The chapters cover a broad spectrum of practical experience and research, much of which should be of interest to the newcomer setting out on the Software Quality Management path, whilst others should be of interest to more seasoned practitioners. The topics covered include: setting up and maintaining quality management systems; quality aspects of project management and software development [including process improvement]; training and education for quality; testing; maintenance; tools; human aspects of quality management and standards. The techniques contained in these papers for achieving control of software quality include metrication, formal methods, expert systems, photocopying and many others. These proceedings are suitable for software quality engineers as well as software developers and reliability and systems engineers.
