Service Details

QAI Benchmarking service covers all types of project life cycles: waterfall, prototyping, esnhancements, maintenance, modifications etc. 

QSM project database of over 6400 validated projects from over 700 organizations is spread over the following application domains:

• Business Systems
• Scientific Software
• System Software
• Telecommunication
• Process Control
• Real Time
• Command & Control
• Avionics
• Microcode/Firmware

These application domains cover the entire spectrum of software development.

How does it work?

The project data submitted is benchmarked against the appropriate application domains:

The data is analyzed from over 42 different perspectives.

An indicative list of the different perspectives

• Trends for life cycle duration, effort, cost, and peak staff vs. Size of the project.
• Trends for reliability (Mean Time to Defect) of software vs. size of the project.
• Trends for productivity vs. size of the project. 
• Trends for main build duration, effort and peak staff vs. size of the project.

The analysis factors in the inter-relationships are size, effort, schedule, process productivity factors (like technology, management influence and so on) and the inherent ability of the organization to deploy people (the manpower buildup rate). It also examines the effect on quality (as reflected through the defects) by any or all of the above parameters.
