Improvement of efficiency by introduction of CCM and software engineering standards

Objective

The department of Industrial Image Analysis as part of the Institute of Digital Image Processing of JOANNEUM RESEARCH develops customer designed systems for industrial applications based on image processing techniques. The company was certified according to ISO 9001 standard 1995, but the guidelines for software development given in ISO 9000-3 are not fully applied. A couple of problems have been observed in the past and are still present in the software development process, which have to be corrected. An assessment of the current status showed big need but also big interest of the employees in more software quality management.
Main objectives of this PIE are:
Shorter software development cycles
Better code reusability
Increase of reproducibility and readability of code
More efficient Configuration and Change Management (CCM)
Better documentation and problem tracking

THE EXPERIMENT
In this PIE, the influence of the establishment of a CCM tool is measured. As a prerequisite for selection and usage of this tool, a complete software lifecycle model will be worked out, which will act as basis for the CCM procedures. Especially the influence on code quality, error frequency, customisation, maintainability and reuse will be investigated in detail. Measured parameters indicating this influence will be: code metrics, efficiency based on time statistics, error statistics and reuse statistics

EXPECTED IMPACT AND EXPERIENCE
Reduction of error frequency and time for solving errors
More flexibility in planning of personal resources
Better reuse of code
Easier maintenance of code
Higher confidence of customers
Increase of motivation
