Abstract

As a flat steel producer situated in Linz/Upper Austria our core business does not include software development. Software is only produced inhouse for business processes where competitive advantages can be realized. That is the reason why in the past the software development process was not so well tuned as the steel production and order entry processes. Consequently we decided to introduce process improvement in software development. Beginning to migrate part of our organisation from traditional to object-oriented development style was the chance to show the benefits of a measurement program. We expected to overcome problems with the new OO technology at a very early stage of the project.
