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.
