Since the model we developed represents a cultural change for most organizations, the manner in which the process is implemented is critically important to the overall success of the program.  As such, the purpose of this section is to provide a framework for establishing an effective Defect Management Program.  The implementation approach presented in this section is based on the following general philosophies:

Senior Management must understand, support, and be a part of the Defect Management Program.

The Defect Management process should be integrated into the overall software development process.

The bulk of the defect measurement, collection, and analysis work should be implemented by individual project teams not by an independent function.  An independent function, such as a Quality Assurance function, may be appropriate to support the project teams and to provide departmental consolidation and analysis of the information.

To the extent practical, the process should be repeatable and automated.

Specific development approaches (e.g., testing, inspections, etc.) should be chosen based on project objectives and risks that must be addressed.
