Recent rough estimates are that the U.S. Department of Defense
(DoD) spends at least $38 billion a year on the research,
development, testing, and evaluation of new defense systems;
approximately 40 percent of that cost-at least $16 billion-is spent
on software development and testing. There is widespread
understanding within DoD that the effectiveness of
software-intensive defense systems is often hampered by low-quality
software as well as increased costs and late delivery of software
components. Given the costs involved, even relatively incremental
improvements to the software development process for defense
systems could represent a large savings in funds. And given the
importance of producing defense software that will carry out its
intended function, relatively small improvements to the quality of
defense software systems would be extremely important to identify.
DoD software engineers and test and evaluation officials may not be
fully aware of a range of available techniques, because of both the
recent development of these techniques and their origination from
an orientation somewhat removed from software engineering, i.e.,
from a statistical perspective. The panel's charge therefore was to
convene a workshop to identify statistical software engineering
techniques that could have applicability to DoD systems in
development.
