Objective
INASCO's main business concern is to provide reliable products, as well as to improve its market competitiveness. To the satisfaction of this common business concern, the objective of the MIFOS experiment is to establish at INASCO a systematic framework for software quality measurements, which will be associated to specific business and technical goals.
THE EXPERIMENT
The MIFOS experiment will introduce the Goal-Question-Metric (GQM) approach to INASCO's RTD department, focusing on a typical project as a baseline. The initial step of this PIE involves the setting-up and integration of the experiment with the baseline project, as well as the necessary personnel training. Subsequently, the main steps of the GQM approach will be followed and implemented in the context of the baseline project. The four main phases of the experiment are software development process analysis and primary goals definition, primary goals analysis, measurements plan implementation and, exploitation of measurements. The baseline projects involves development of engineering software for materials applications.
Through the MIFOS experiment, a systematic measurements based improvements framework will be established at INASCO's RTD department leading to improved software products quality and consequently, to increased competitiveness for INASCO. The MIFOS experiment will take place at INASCO's Research Technology and Development department which employs 7 highly qualified software engineers.
EXPECTED IMPACT AND EXPERIENCE
The main technical benefits expected out of MIFOS include: identification of process improvements, better control of projects and, improved quality in software products. Commercial benefits include reduction of software development costs, reduction of the lead-time for software products and increased product reliability during customer use. Through this PIE, INASCO will gain experience in establishing a measurements based improvements framework.
