Quality Data in PROCON


The tool which is to be used in PSE for recording quality data is termed PROCON-PDE; the tool used for evaluating quality data is PROCON-QDA.

What data needs to be recorded in PROCON?

  • Key data of the project: Brief description of the project and its key data (starting and finishing dates, responsible persons, development method, etc.).
  • Planning data for milestones: Significant points during the course of the project; each assigned a deadline (planned values; the actual values are derived from the finished phase results) and planned difference in effort from the preceding milestone.
  • Planned data for phase results: This describes the specific results of the development process (all relevant components such as plans and documents of various kinds, generated program parts, etc. together with their planned deadline). Phase results must always be assigned unambiguously to a milestone.
  • QA data: The specific QA-related data is entered for the individual phase results (e.g. actual time of completion, scope of document, errors identified from the review or test, etc.).

What is QDA?
The QDA program is used for graphic output of project and QA data which has been entered in PROCON throughout the course of the project. These comprise both the project data defined in the planning process (project subdivision into milestones and phases and the associated effort), and software parameters recorded during development (review and test results). The highly illustrative graphics in QDA provide information on the current status of the project (up-to-date figures for effort in accordance with the monthly billing of engineer accounting sheets).

A fuller description of PROCON and QDA can be found in section Project checks; further information (submitting applications, installation, user manual, etc.) is available from PSE-QM and your responsible quality manager.
