Managing Third-Party Supplier Software Quality (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781480029989)

This book is a must read for all test managers, project managers, procurement offices and anyone else involved in third-party software development.Simply appointing a supplier and hoping that they will turn up on time with an acceptable solution is a risky act of faith that has seen an ever increasing number of projects fail. In this well-crafted and comprehensive book, Tony lays out the methods and tactics you can employ to ensure that you stay in control of the quality of software being delivered by your third-party supplier.Suppliers have a tendency to over promise and keep bad news away from the client for as long as possible. It is incumbent on the client to understand what the true state of affairs is if they are to properly serve the interests of their stakeholders.By setting out what you should be able to expect from a third party supplier and detailing the steps you can take to ensure that you remain in control and informed, Tony ensures that you are in a better place to agree up front role and responsibilities, set expectations and get the development off on the right track.
