Things wordy, geeky, and webbyPulling Estimates Out of Elephant’s…
Thursday, June 20th, 2002 at 11:13 AM |A frequent problem in any software development shop is the inability to create estimates for a project. Even my company, which is undertaking CMM level 2, is struggling with estimation. StickyMinds shares a paper on The Test Estimation Process. What I like about it is that, for once, it’s not some complex, mathematician-required process. It’s based on real experience with rules, metrics, tools, and tips that helped a test team through the estimation nightmare.
Another goodie from StickyMinds — Why Is Error Prevention Important? The article urges the software industry to make automatic error prevention a part of the process especially since recent advances have been revolutionary. The author indicates that error prevent comes into play in CMM, but not until level 5 (highest level of certification in the model). It should be there, but not at the top level. Instead, make error prevention part of the foundation of the development process. Mighty good points.
