2. Outline Instructional ICSM-Sw Context and More Realities
CS577 "System" Engineer
CS577 Quality Management overview
CS577 Systems Requirements Management Overview
CS577 Quality Focal Point
The shared IIV&V Role for DEN (remote students)
What it is & how it works
Principles behind it
How it’s distinct from other project participation
@USC CSSE

3. Software Engineering of Large Systems
Not enough time to do a "large" system, but
Real client
Real deliverables
Teach and Use "best practices": techniques, tools and ...
WinWin; IICSM-Sw (nee MBASE); Risk Driven; COCOMO II
OO Analysis and Design
Quality Management (QM)
Peer Reviews and other QM early assessment techniques
Configuration Management (CM)
Integrated Independent Verification and Validation (IIV&V)
EPG for IICSM-Sw …
Projects run & documented like "Medium Systems" projects
Evolving: IICSM-Sw, IIV&V, QM, DEN Student responsibilities …

4. Quality Dilemma Early Defect Detection is very cost effective
You make "Defects" as you do your work, but you don't know what to do until we tell you
Most effective way to identify potential defects is a Fagan Inspection; but
Don't have time to train you well in the method
Fagan's Inspections take time (early in Life Cycle) [which is made up later]; CS577 doesn't have the time
Solution
IIV&V (PEER review)
Simple Role-based Peer Review for critical artifacts
@USC CSSE

5. More Reliabilities CS577a is a four unit course => 12 hours/week
Early in semester: more explicit learning, less doing
Late in semester: more doing (~ 80% of time), less learning
Schedule (not budget for staff) is the independent variable [a client can't offer more $'s for more staff]
Milestones are based on a fixed schedule dictated by academic/pedagogical constraints
@USC CSSE

6. IIV&V role – for DEN-remote students ONLY!
IIV&V role – project "quality" & DEN learning enhancer
Not totally "Independent": More "Integrated" IV&V => IIV&V
Originally "independent" meant no direct contact
Integrated IV&V permits working closely, but independently
IIV&V requires DEMANDING corrections for tacit knowledge
Project results can be improved as a result of YOUR efforts
You learn by doing and interacting with a real project and real client
