Mary Jo Riley from Zif Davis has written an interesting article in the latest eWeek about the delay of Windows Vista due to quality. The delay is not the interesting part (that's old news now), but what peaked my interest was that Microsoft has a pledged to re-engineer software development with an internal project named Software Quality Metrics or SQM.
There's not much info on the details of what SQM is but sources say that it is capable of reporting quality of service and usage, real-time feedback on the impact of UI changes, and aggregating quality data into cubes and data warehouses that can be manipulated.
Microsoft is keeping this on the down-low at the moment, so we'll have to be patient to see what SQM is really capable of. |
