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.
