Ninth International Software Quality Week (QW'96)
*********************************************************************
21-24 May 1996
Sheraton Palace Hotel, San Francisco, California
Conference Theme: Process Convergence
CONFERENCE THEME: QUALITY PROCESS CONVERGENCE
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Advances in technology have swept the computing industry to new heights of
innovation. The astonishing growth of the InterNet and the WWW, the
maturation of client-server technology, and the emerging developments with C++
and Sun's Java Language (tm) are two illustrations of the rapid deployment we
are seeing the 1990s. For software quality to keep track existing methods,
approaches and tools have to be thought of in well-structured ``process
models'' that apply quality control and test methods in a reasoned, practical
way. Quality Process Convergence - making sure that applied quality
techniques produce real results at acceptable costs - is the key to success.
The Ninth International Software Quality Week focuses on software testing,
analysis, evaluation and review methods that support and enable process
thinking. Quality Week '96 brings the best quality industry thinkers and
practitioners together to help you keep the competitive edge.

TUESDAY, 21 MAY 1996 (TUTORIAL DAY)
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Tutorial Day offers ten lectures in two time slots on current issues and
technologies. You can choose one tutorial from each of the two time slots.
Tuesday, 21 May 1996, 8:30 - 12:00 -- AM Half-Day Tutorials
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Mr. Robert V. Binder (RBSC Corporation) "Object-Oriented System Testing: The
FREE Approach (Tutorial A)"
This tutorial presents a complete and coherent approach to system testing
based on object-oriented software requirements. Participants will learn how
to develop an efficient and effective system test plan from use cases,
scenarios and object-interaction diagrams.
Dr. Boris Beizer (ANALYSIS) "An Overview Of Testing Unit, Integration, System
(Tutorial B)"
This overview of software testing introduces newcomers to software testing
to the technical and conceptual vocabulary of testing in order to prepare
them to understand the conference material. In the past, this has been one
of the most popular pre-conference tutorials. It assumes only basic
programming knowledge and no prior experience with formal testing methods.
It is updated each year to assure currency.
Dr. Walt Scacchi (University of Southern California) "Understanding Software
Productivity (Tutorial C)"
Mr. Lech Krzanik (CCC Software Professionals Oy) "BOOTSTRAP: A European
Software Process Assessment and Improvement Method (Tutorial D)"
BOOTSTRAP, which was developed based on the experience of SEI and ISO
9001/9000-3, is expected to become the first complete, widely used
methodology and tool suite for process assessment and improvement to become
fully SPICE compatible (SPICE, Software Process Improvement and Capability
determination, is an ISO standard initiative to be published next year).
Against the background of an up-to-date comparative review of the
principles and practices of other software process assessment and
improvement approaches, the BOOTSTRAP methodology, tools and experiences
are demonstrated.
Mr. John D. Musa (AT&T Bell Labs) "Software Reliability Engineered Testing
(Tutorial E)"
Software-reliability-engineered testing (SRET) is engineered to test
software as efficiently and reliably as possible. This tutorial teaches
the major activities of SRET: developing an operational profile, defining
"failure" with severity classes, setting system failure intensity
objectives, allocating system failure intensity objectives among
components, certifying failure intensities of acquired software components,
testing the system to the failure intensity objectives, and rehearsing
customer acceptance tests.
Tuesday, 21 May 1996, 1:30 - 5:00 -- PM Half-Day Tutorials
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Mr. Hans-Ludwig Hausen (GMD Gesellschaft fur Mathematik und Datenverarbeitung
mbH) "Software Quality Evaluation and Certification (Tutorial F)"
This tutorial will make the attendees aware of the development of the
technology of software quality evaluation and certification, and provide
them with practical approaches to the problem of quality. The results and
findings of several European projects on software quality and productivity
are presented specifically to meet the needs of software managers and
developers.
Dr. Norman F. Schneidewind (Naval Postgraduate School) "Software Reliability
Engineering for Client-Server Systems (Tutorial G)"
This tutorial addresses the increasing use of multi-node client- server and
distributed systems, in which software entities executing on multiple nodes
must be modeled as systems if realistic reliability predictions and
assessments are to be made. The following topics are covered: specifying
client-server software reliability requirements, identifying critical and
noncritical client and server functions; specifying a client- server
architecture to meet software reliability requirements; modeling and
predicting client-server software reliability, and integrating modeling and
prediction with software testing of client-server systems.
Mr. William J. Deibler, Mr. Bob Bamford (Software Systems Quality Consulting)
"Models for Software Quality -- Comparing the SEI Capability Maturity Model
(CMM) to ISO 9001 (Tutorial H)"
Based on an in-depth analysis of the relationship between ISO 9001 and the
SEI CMM, this course provides overviews and detailed examinations of both
models. Participants will learn to determine criteria for applying each
model to the engineering practices of a particular organization; to
understand how ISO 9000-3 supports the application of each clause in
practice; to avoid time-consuming misinterpretations; to organize the Key
Process Areas in Version 1.1 of the CMM; to define areas of overlap and
difference between the two models; and to anticipate the impact of specific
quality assessment programs.
Mr. Dan Craigen, Mr. Ted Ralston (ORA Canada) "An Overview of Formal Methods
(Tutorial I)"
This tutorial provides a high-level briefing about Formal Methods, without
focusing on mathematical minutiae or parochial arguments about which formal
method is "best." Formal Methods can be used to extend our capability to
predict the behavior of systems and to complement the analyses of
conventional approaches to software quality (testing and inspection). The
tutorial presents the basic concepts of Formal Methods. Some major
successes of Formal Methods in industry are summarized, and popular myths
are addressed. The overview of the capabilities of the technology includes
what is currently feasible and what is being investigated. The tutorial
concludes with guidance about how to get started with Formal Methods and
where to find further resources.
Mr. Tom Gilb (Independent Consultant) "Software Inspection (Tutorial J)"
This tutorial focuses on correcting misconceptions about software
inspection and on updating participants to a more advanced level of
practice. Advances made over the last 20 years will be discussed, and
participants will hear how to get the most out of inspections, how to move
on from our present state of inspections, and whether inspections relate to
tests as complement or as competition.

NINTH INTERNATIONAL SOFTWARE QUALITY WEEK (QW'96)
21-24 May 1996
Sheraton Palace Hotel, San Francisco, California
CONFERENCE THEME: QUALITY PROCESS CONVERGENCE
Advances in technology have swept the computing industry to new heights
of innovation. The astonishing growth of the InterNet and the WWW, the
maturation of client-server technology, and the emerging developments
with C++ and Sun's Java Language (tm) are illustrations of the rapid
deployment we are seeing the 1990s. For software quality to keep track
of existing methods, approaches and tools have to be thought of in
well-structured ``process models'' that apply quality control and test
methods in a reasoned, practical way.
Quality Process Convergence - making sure that applied quality tech-
niques produce real results at acceptable costs - is the key to success.
The Ninth International Software Quality Week focuses on software test-
ing, analysis, evaluation and review methods that support and enable
process thinking. Quality Week '96 brings the best quality industry
thinkers and practitioners together to help you keep the competitive
edge.
CONFERENCE SPONSORS
The QW'96 Conference is sponsored by SR Institute, in cooperation the
IEEE Computer Society (Technical Council on Software Engineering) and
the ACM. Members of the IEEE and ACM receive a 10% discount off all
registration fees.
