5th ISMI Symposium on Manufacturing Effectiveness
Short Course: "Lean Practices in Software Development"
Tuesday, October 21
1PM-5PM
Instructors: Bryan Bilbrey, Janelle Klein, New Iron Group, Inc.
The emphasis of this 4-hour short course will be practical application of lean software quality practices to the development and maintenance of semiconductor application software.
Included will be practices for continuous integration, how automated functional tests can be used as executable requirements as well as a basis for non-functional testing, and how software developers can apply Test Driven Development to different types of applications. The application of lean quality practices to the installation and maintenance of commercial software will also be presented.
This course will provide an introduction to how lean manufacturing principles do—and do not—apply to software development and maintenance. The course will close with an overview of Key Performance Indicators for software success, and an overview of why Lean software initiatives often fail.
