In a competitive environment where time-to-market is crucial for success, software development companies initiate process improvement programs that can shorten the development time. They especially seek improvements in the verification activities since rework commonly constitutes a significant part of the development cost. However, the success of process improvement initiatives is dependent on early and observable results since a lack of feedback on the effect of improvements is a common cause of failure. This paper investigates how to monitor the verification process as input to decisions such as improvement actions. The suggested approach was applied on three industrial software products at Ericsson and the results determined that the approach can be used for quantitative monitoring of process quality and as decision support to do rapid improvement actions.
