better manage software quality problems by identifying and eliminating problem sources, rather than treating the symptoms of poor quality.

Software quality tools and metrics that can be used to some extent in every software organization are described, along with a simple economic formula for governing a software quality program.

level as an overall increase in a dimension or volume. Bond lengthening is perhaps best explained by the potential energy versus interatomic distance diagram, see Fig. 1. On heating, the vibrational energy rises, and due to the asymmetry of the potential energy curve, shown in Fig. 1 (which can be considered typical of most strong bonds), the mean interatomic distance increases [1]. The rate of change (slope) of the potential energy curve is lower on the lengthening side of the…

are increasingly concerned with achieving and demonstrating sound occupational health and safety (OH&S) performance by controlling their OH&S risks, consistent with their OH&S policy and objectives. They do so in the context of increasingly stringent legislation, the development of economic policies and other measures that foster good OH&S practices, and increased concern expressed by interested parties about OH&S issues. Many organizations have undertaken OH&S “reviews” or “audits” to…
