Presentation Title:

Overview and 
     Purpose:

For the last 10 years the development practices employed by dozens of software organizations in defense, manufacturing, medical and other industries has been benchmarked against the actual defect density rates produced with those practices. The organizations with the lowest defect density and with the greatest improvements in defect density did so with simple but effective techniques. Along the way, they also avoided a few hidden traps that can make reliable software difficult to achieve. They also avoided going over budget or schedule to achieve lower defect density and ultimately higher availability, reliability and MTTF. Their success stories will be presented.
