Quality- and risk management have gone through some changes in the last few years. The focus used to target identification, removal and documentation of defects, which has given room to “total quality management,” which takes an all inclusive view on all quality relevant business processes.

 

Development of defect prevention strategies

Cost Xpert’s solution is based on the principle of defect prevention and not defect documentation. Identification and demarcation of potential defects (requirements, design, coding, documentation, and bad fixes) are preventive measures to help avoid defects, where possible and to improve quality over time.

 

Insight into maintenance cost

Our approach to estimation delivers an exact representation of how maintenance costs will evolve over a time frame of up to 20 years and supports the decision making process regarding new development. Effects from activities during testing, development and implementation, and their demand on resources, are identified and represented.

 

Securing of product and process quality

Cost Xpert’s method based control loop leads to an ongoing, systematic, optimization of business and service processes and product quality. Supporting international proceeding models, as well as industry standards for process and product quality are supported (e.g. SEI CMMI, EN/ISO 15504 “Spice). Cost Xpert supports clients with controlled optimization of product and process quality by recommending appropriate test processes and supporting QA initiatives.
