Redefining software quality. A lot of my consulting work lately has been around helping teams see software quality more holistically – that it’s not something only testers (or only developers) should be concerned about. Doing that I’ve started formulating an idea that isn’t fully baked yet – but it helped me explain things better – and I’d love your comments on this. A lot of the confusion about software quality is that it means different things to different people, and the best definitions so far are zen-like, eg Weinberg’s ‘value to someone (who matters)’. They don’t describe things like technical code quality, which I intuitively know matters but doesn’t directly provide value. Laking a holistic definition of quality, teams measure things like bug trends, code coverage etc. Maybe software quality isn’t as simple as a zen-like sentence, and maybe measuring bugs actually does provide some value.
The lowest level of quality are physiological needs – if these things aren’t satisfied, software is completely useless. Agile Tools | Project Management Open-Source and Free Software.
