SPRE, Inc. can work with you to make reliability a competitive
advantage for your Software-based products and services.
|

|
|
|
|
The key to success for your software-based products is to strike
the balance among product reliability, price, feature content,
and timely delivery to the marketplace.
|
|
|
To manage reliability you must be able to measure it. This
will allow you to
- Set quantitative reliability requirements for your
product,
- use these requirements to guide development and
- validate reliability requirements BEFORE delivery to
your customer.
|
|
|
The discipline of Software Reliability Engineering (SRE)
provides ways of measuring, analyzing and estimating reliability
of software and applying these to managing reliability
throughout the software life-cycle.
|
|
|
There are twenty-five recommended activities for doing
SRE across the software life-cycle.
|
|
|
The reliability of software is heavily influenced by
- how it is used and
- how it is constructed.
|
|
|
Product usage is characterized by an Operation Profile.
|
|
|
Your customer's business processes dictate how your
product will be used.
|
|
|
Software construction methods can influence software
reliability through the process people use in developing
software.
|
|
|
Process Engineering enables you to understand the business
process of your customers and improve the development process
of you software organization. Thus, Process Engineering can
help you in both
- constructing better Operational Profiles and
- changing development processes to improve product
reliability.
