I have focused
on software quality for the past
15 years of my career. Expertise has been honed by working with
companies of various sizes and cultures and
leading
QA teams. Prior to specific
quality
related roles my system engineering and system development work was
done in the culture of
strict quality requirements for Department of Defense and nuclear plant
systems. Quality software development has been my career.
Full
life-cycle experience for software development has been acquired during
my career as I have worn many of the hats that represent the various
roles that contribute to software development. The breadth of my SDLC
experiences has greatly contributed to my ability to provide valuable
contributions as a consultant supporting SDLC improvement efforts.
Software Quality must be considered during all phases of any software
develelopment life cycle. Quality Assurance is concerned with the
prevention of defects and then the detection of those defects that
could not be prevented.
