Objective
Procedimientos-Uno SL produces and sells technical software for fields of Architecture and Engineering. The widespread use of GUIs has lead to higher testing complexity and cost. Holding the general objectives of cost containment and quality improvement in mind, the main objective of this PIE is to prove that Formal Code Inspection is cost effective in small technical development environments such as ours.
THE EXPERIMENT
The approach of the PIE will be to introduce an adequately tailored version of Formal Code Inspection as defined by Fagan, IEEE, etc. to the size of small development units. We plan to introduce 3 inspections in our standard software development lifecycle referring to an existing baseline project (known as NovaMedia); playing special attention to the testing costs of inspected modules re non-inspected.
EXPECTED IMPACT AND EXPERIENCE
This PIE is expected to lead to a higher quality of the baseline project's components at less cost, thus proving FCI an adequate SQA technique for environments as ours. Cost savings should arise from reduced defect finding time and reduced time to market. Indirect benefits are expected, such as, helping to maintain a high level of team integration in a growing organisation, enhancing code maintainability (through improved readability) and reducing the number of unknown bugs in software releases. Positive experience should lead to full scale introduction of FCI for all projects in our organisation.
