Safety and reliability have moved to the top of the list of critical criteria in software development. There are many ways to achieve improved safety and reliability, and one of the best is to employ ...

Today's systematic and more subtle random defects are not only decreasing yields, but are also increasing the number of test escapes, or defective parts per million (DPPM) shipped out. One of the ...

Although it is sometimes thought that quality assurance (QA) and software testing are the same, they are, in fact, different concepts. They differ in their objectives, features and methods. Testers ...

Defects that escape into production during migrations quietly multiply cost, risk and compliance exposure – quality built in (not bolted on) is now a national competitiveness issue. Issued by Kinetic ...

A newly drafted IEEE standard will bring more consistency to defect metrics in analog/mixed (AMS) designs, a long-overdue step that has become too difficult to ignore in the costly heterogeneous ...
