    Abstract : Software is one of the core elements that drive the modern economy, with visible use in areas such as personal computing, telecommunications and banking, and background use in areas such as aircraft traffic management, nuclear power generation, and automotive control systems. Organizations that build software are unique in that they span industrial domains, and at their core of what they do is codifying human knowledge. READ MORE

  5. 8. Early and Cost-Effective Software Fault Detection : Measurement and Implementation in an Industrial Setting

    Author : Lars-Ola Damm; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; software; faults; defects; early fault detection; software process improvement;

    Abstract : Avoidable rework consumes a large part of development projects, i.e. 20-80 percent depending on the maturity of the organization and the complexity of the products. High amounts of avoidable rework commonly occur when having many faults left to correct in late stages of a project. READ MORE

  6. 9. Handling Combinatorial Explosion in Software Testing

    Author : Mats Grindal; Sten Andler; Yu Lei; Högskolan i Skövde; []
