Defense Software: Review of Defense Report on Software Developemnt Best Pictures

摘要

In responding to the Committee's directive, Defense was required to report on its efforts to identify and adopt best practices in software development and on its efforts to address six additional issues-%ranging from the employment of risk management in software development, to the management of requirements changes, to the development of metrics to help assess performance and pinpoint potential problems, to tracking software development rework expenditures. Defense's response addressed the Committee's basic question and all six additional issues. However, the responses on some issues were incomplete and others contained inaccurate or outdated information. Specifically, of the seven total issues, Defense's response did not fully address two issues and was inaccurate or outdated on three. Table 1 summarizes of our evaluation of Defense's response.
