From Bugville to Qualitytown: Riding the T.R.A.M.* to Software Quality

How would you like to know, I mean really know, not just when your software is "Good-To-Go!", but when its going to be "Good-To-Go!"? That's what the T.R.A.M. can do for your company and your clients. The Test Requirements Agile Metric is a top-down, statistical method for analyzing Quality Assurance requirements and results. It is useful for project management, estimation, risk analysis, functional and defect prioritization and can save weeks of development time and cost. According to The Standish Group's 2009 Chaos Summary, 68% of all IT projects are either late, over budget or both. The Test Requirements Agile Metric can help your company improve this number. It forces software to be more robust at each release, leading to higher quality, more accurate estimates, decreased development costs, increased profits, happier, more satisfied customers and, most importantly, greater profits.
