Neglecting quality in application development
From Compuware
London – Research from Compuware has revealed that European organisations are neglecting quality in application development. 78% of companies are failing to consistently apply a formal quality assurance (QA) methodology. It is therefore unsurprising that almost half (49%) of these organisations have not applied a quality programme like CMM or Six Sigma to their development procedures, in order to drive continuous quality improvement. The negative impact of not implementing a quality programme is widespread inconsistency, with 44% stating that quality was managed at a departmental level and that different methodologies were being implemented.
