Quality Center Update Eileen Hall Ken Kasparian TPTF
Nodal Quality is of Increasing Concern • Areas of Concern • Limited testing in lower environments • Late detection of defects increasing defect resolution time • Increased number of releases requires support for multiple versions of software (2+) • Defects not uniformly prioritized from a program perspective • Currently do not have integrated test environment • Final builds of critical components have not been integrated • Mitigation Measures • Provide for adequate test cycles in revised schedule • Minimize number of releases/builds • Program level participation in defect prioritization • Accelerate build out of integrated test environment
Nodal FAT Active Defects by Severity by Project The number of Severity 1 and Severity 2 defects is increasing. • Problems areas include: • NMMS has 30 Severity 1 and Severity 2 defects • MMS has 14 Severity 2 defects • OS UI has 10 Severity 2 defects • EIP has 9 Severity 1 and Severity 2 defects Note – Includes New, Open, Reopen, Fixed and Test
Nodal Active Defects by Severity Trend • Severity 3 trend is remaining relatively constant (784 currently outstanding) • Severity 2 defects are increasing due to defect reclassification to reflect must-fix defects Sev 3 Sev 2 Sev 1
Average Days to Fix FAT Severity (1, 2, 3) Defect by Vendor Defect turnaround time is one key indicator of vendor performance.
Nodal % Reopened Defects by Vendor Key indicator of vendor performance (indicates what percentage of fixes delivered by a vendor failed retest). • ABB, AREVA, and Siemens are fixing their products with a low reopen rate, a good indication that these vendors are sufficiently testing their releases/defect bundles prior to delivery. • Increased focus on more robust dev/pre-FAT testing for vendors with high reopen rate.
Severity 1, 2, and 3 defects found in the Early Delivery Systems (EDS) Majority of EMS defects are detected in EDS.
Quality Strategy Moving Forward • Ensure adequate testing time in the appropriate environment. • Minimize number of releases/builds. • Prioritize defects according to program impact. • Complete integration test environment.
