Improve Software Quality by Reusing Knowledge and Experience

October 15, 1995 | Victor R. Basili , Gianluigi Caldiera | Managing Technology

The approaches for improving quality in manufacturing processes don't work especially well for software development. The authors provide a quality improvement paradigm for the software industry that builds on manufacturing models but focuses on reused learning and experience by establishing "experience factories." Their iterative process enables an organization to acquire core competencies to support its strategic capabilities.
