System for measuring, controlling, and validating software development projects

摘要

A system monitors software development processes. In an embodiment, key components are identified (120) in a requirements-specification, verification rules arc applied (130) to delivered requirements, and entities and the requirements-specification are validated (150, 160). In another embodiment, a standard set of review types are generated (310), review checklists are generated (320), the review checklists are allocated (330), and review points are collected and tracked (340, 350). In a further embodiment, a standard work break down Structure and standard work products are defined (510, 520), u high level plan is formed (530), and a planning template is formed (540). In another embodiment, the planning and tracking of a software development process and software product quality arc stored (610, 620) in an integrated system, work products arc reviewed (630), defects in the work products are recorded (640), and any defects are tracked (650) until the completion of the software development process.
