Value-based quality processes and results

Published: 17 May 2005 Publication History

Abstract

Cost effectiveness is one of the important issues for developing products in a life cycle. And review is a key activity that can detect defects from the early stage and fix them. This paper provides Value-based review techniques adding cost effectiveness into review processes and reports on an experiment on Value-based review. Through the experiment, the Value-based review is shown to have higher cost effectiveness in review processes.
