Automated Defect Prevention PDF

This book describes an approach to software management based onestablishing an infrastructure that serves as the foundation forthe project. This infrastructure defines people roles, necessarytechnology, and interactions between people and technology. Thisinfrastructure automates repetitive tasks, organizes projectactivities, tracks project status, and seamlessly collects projectdata to provide measures necessary for decision making. Mostimportantly, this infrastructure sustains and facilitates theimprovement of human-defined processes.

The methodology described in the book, which is called AutomatedDefect Prevention (ADP) stands out from the current softwarelandscape as a result of two unique features: its comprehensiveapproach to defect prevention, and its far-reaching emphasis onautomation. ADP is a practical and thorough guide to implementingand managing software projects and processes. It is a set of bestpractices for software management through process improvement,which is achieved by the gradual automation of repetitive taskssupported and sustained by this flexible and adaptableinfrastructure, an infrastructure that essentially forms asoftware production line.

In defining the technology infrastructure, ADP describesnecessary features rather than specific tools, thus remainingvendor neutral. Only a basic subset of features thatare essential for building an effective infrastructure has beenselected. Many existing commercial and non-commercial tools supportthese, as well as more advanced features. Appendix E contains sucha list.
