Objective
The objective of this project is to investigate the balance between the use of review and testing to provide cost-effective error removal from real-time software.
The results of the project are expected to define which review and test methods are the most effective in reducing errors and increasing the quality of delivered software.
Software forms a significant part of the delivered systems of both participants and it is expected that this project will have an impact on reducing costs, errors and schedule in major software and systems projects.
THE EXPERIMENT
The experiment will involve the use of additional metrics, more automated review techniques and more automated testing techniques. During the experiment some of the 'raw' (i.e. before review and test) source code from the Baseline Project will be subjected to:
Improved reviewing techniques using Ada Analyser from the Rational Apex environment for automated tool support.
More rigorous unit test process, using Rational's TestMate for automated tool support.
A combination of improved reviewing techniques and more rigorous testing.
EXPECTED IMPACT AND EXPERIENCE
The results of the project are expected to define which review and test methods are the most effective in reducing errors and increasing the quality of delivered software.
Software forms a significant part of the delivered systems of both participants and it is expected that this project will have an impact on reducing costs, errors and schedule in major software and systems projects.

Funding Scheme
Funding scheme (or “Type of Action”) inside a programme with common features. It specifies: the scope of what is funded; the reimbursement rate; specific evaluation criteria to qualify for funding; and the use of simplified forms of costs like lump sums.
