TSP Quality Management
if the product didn't have to work, we could build it really quickly.
Although it may not appear that the customers and managers care as must about quality as
they do cost and schedule, they do want our products to work. However, because
quality is key to both schedule management and product performance,
quality is really our job. In fact, before they learn the PSP, most software developers
spend 20% to 30% of their time finding and fixing defects. Then their teams
spend nearly half of the project schedule finding and fixing more defects in testing.
Finally, after delivery. many organizations spend as much money fixing defective products as they did originally developing them. By using the quality methods you learn with the PSP, you can cut these personal. team, and organizational costs by five to ten times. Furthermore, while you are doing this, you will produce more competitive products on shorter schedules and at less cost.
