Description:

Outstanding software doesn't just happen. To create software that works and keeps working, there are plenty of best practices that your team can implement and measure throughout the development process. In this webcast, experts from the Software Improvement Group (SIG) discuss the 10 best practices they've focused on in their years of experience as software quality consultants. They present how you can apply the "goal-question-metric" approach to guide you in measuring how those best practices are implemented and whether your quality control is on track.
