Despite efforts to increase testing resources, faulty software costs the US economy $60 billion annually. Every day, business systems and consumer products rely more on software to function properly. When software errors cause those systems and products to fail, the economic impact can be huge. Rather than accepting the costs and repercussions of faulty software, companies should approach it as they would approach any other business problem: not only resolving the problem, but also finding a way to prevent it from happening again.

Learn how organizations have adopted a new approach software process improvement that uses information gained from software testing, measurement, and monitoring to progressively improve the application development lifecycle and prevent software errors.

Hear how organizations are following five basic steps to improve software quality and reliability:

		Detect an error
		Isolate the cause of the error
		Locate the point in the production process that created the error
		Implement preventative practices to ensure that errors do not reoccur
		Monitor the process for improvements

This approach has proven to be a cost-effective strategy that enables companies to protect against application failure and downtime, and improve the quality and reliability of software.
