Objective
INTRACOM`s main business concern is to provide reliable and safe products as well as to improve its market competitiveness. To the satisfaction of this common business concern, the objective of the PITA experiment is to establish at INTRACOM S.A. a systematic framework for software quality measurements, linked to specific business and technical goals.
THE EXPERIMENT
The PITA experiment will introduce the Goal-Question-Metric (GQM) approach via the AMI methodology and tool, focusing on a typical project as a baseline. The initial step of this PIE involves the integration of the experiment with the baseline project, as well as the necessary training of key personnel. From then on, the basic improvement steps as defined in the AMI methodology will be implemented in the baseline project.
The four main phases of the experiment are: CMM assessment, primary goals analysis, measurements plan implementation and exploitation of measurements. The baseline project involves development of software modules for AXE-10 Ericsson digital exchange. The duration of the baseline project will be 12 months and the estimated effort will be 8 person-years.
Through the PITA experiment, a systematic measurements based improvements framework will be established leading to improved software products quality and consequently, to increased competitiveness for INTRACOM. The PITA experiment will take place at INTRACOM's Software Design Centre which employs 180 highly qualified software engineers.
EXPECTED IMPACT AND EXPERIENCE
Technical benefits from PITA include: identification and monitoring of process improvements, better planning and control in projects and, improved product quality. Commercial benefits include reduction of software development cost, shortening of the time-to-market for software products and increased product reliability at customer's site. Through PITA, INTRACOM will gain experience in establishing a measurements based improvements framework.
