Tired of software metrics, tools and methods that aren't practical?

At SoftRel, LLC we have the cold hard facts corresponding to successful, mediocre and failed software projects. 

That’s because we have real data from over 100 real completed software projects including:

  •  Actual testing and fielded defect counts

  •  Up to 600 development practices that the have been mathematically correlated to defects

Our benchmarking shows that some of the most critical factors for reliable software are the simplest. 

You can predict these metrics before the code is written. 

  • Software defect density, failure rate, essential failure rate, MTTF, MTTCF, MTTEFF, MTBSA, MTBI, availability and reliability
  • Probability of a late software delivery
  • Practices with biggest sensitivity to reliability
  • Potholes to avoid when improving software reliability
  • Relative time and cost of improving software reliability to a desired level

You can start now with the Software Reliability Toolkit. 

Our research shows that design and code reviews are often ineffective because:

  • Review is not focused on root causes and failure modes that are most likely for the system under review

  • Review time is wasted because people are looking for types of defects that aren’t visible in a static analysis.

We have identified more than 300 software root causes/failure modes and the life cycle phase in which each is most visible

  • Learn how Software FMEAs can be integrated with other software reviews for the highest efficiency and effectiveness.

  • Get the SFMEA toolkit now to get started and/or get trained on SFMEA

Cost effective online software reliability training.  Even if you have travel restrictions, you can still join the Software Reliability Toolkit and Software FMEA training classes from the comfort of your own desk.
