Abstract
The quality movement in the last years has a dramatic impact on all industrial sectors, reaching recently the systems and software industry. Reuse of products, processes and experiences originating from the system life-cycle is seen today as a feasible solution to the problem of developing higher quality systems at a lower cost. Managers and developers have to decide among different approaches to improve productivity and software quality. This paper relates the experiences in introducing., establishing and validating a goal-oriented approach to measurement and control of the quality and productivity in an industrial environment. Firstly, we will describe the basic quality methods applied like QIP and software metrics, then the main characteristics of the environment at the Daimler-Benz Aerospace AG (DASA) in Ulm. Finally, we present the experiences gained with the improvement of the industrial object-oriented systems development.
