Applications of the Phase Containment Effectiveness Metric in Automotive Industry Agile SW Development

摘要

Phase Containment Effectiveness (PCE) is a very powerful metric which can be used also in the automotive SW development for defects rate minimization. In the classical SW development approach is used the PCE metric in order to detect how efficient is the verification in each of the development phases. In this paper we present the benefits and principles for measureing PCE metric in automotive programs and organizations which adopted Agile SW Development. The acquired advantages are demonstrated by a detailed example of real application on how to measure the PCE metric on Iteration (Sprint) and Program Increment (Scum of Scrums/Scaled Agile) Level.
