Building Quality Software Using Continuous Automated Quality Improvement...

Instantiations, Inc., a leading provider of software quality and productivity solutions, announced today that SearchSoftwareQuality.com has published CEO Michael Taylor's article about improving software quality. In the article, Taylor points out that the software industry could learn much from the manufacturing sector in terms of quality improvement.

According to Taylor, creating high-quality software is an interesting mix of art and science that remains mostly unfulfilled by the software business. He calls for companies to move away from software quality as something that the developers pass off to a quality assurance departments at the end of the development process. Instead, he argues that by following the example of Toyota and other manufacturing companies, creators of software can construct higher quality software.

Taylor doesn't advocate the elimination of end of the process quality testing, but argues for programmer involvement in testing throughout the software development process. Involving developers throughout the software creation process can find thousands of errors. This will in turn increase the likelihood that quality assurance testers will devote their time to quality testing and not debugging. By having developers involved in conducting tests of their nightly builds, companies could save thousands of dollars, help get bug-free products to market faster and increase confidence in software products.
