ODC - Orthogonal Defect Classification

What ODC brings to software engineering can be captured in two words: INSIGHT and SPEED. One leads to the other. But, they are not the only things that cause our eyes to light up and the organization hum with excitement. It's the power we gain through practical knowlege to affect the right engineering and process change that makes the difference.

Join us and learn about ODC. And we will begin a journey that is exciting, profitable, and immensely satisfying. We will help your organization apply ODC at the most appropriate level given your business priorities. We will train your staff, help you with your tools and processes, and empower your leadership with insight.

ODC Analytics for Competitive Software Engineering Optimization

Meet us at ISSRE 2011 - Hiroshima, Japan. We have three technical presentations at ISSRE 2011 - the leading IEEE software reliability conference in Hiroshima, Japan. If any of your colleagues attend, we'd be glad to connect with you and make introductions to people in the field.

1. Tutorial on Competitive Software Engineering
2. Tutorial on ODC
3. Research Paper: Understanding Bohr-Mandel bugs through ODC
4. Co-chair: ESR 2011 - Embedded Software Reliability Workshop

ISSRE 2011, Hiroshima Japan

The International Symposium on Software Reliability Engineering, is in Hiroshima, Japan this year. ISSRE has grown to become the top rated international symposium on Software Reliability Engineering. We welcome all our clients to this excellent opportunity to meet others in the industry and take advantage of excellent training opportunities. The video clips on the right are from ISSRE 2009 in Mysuru, India, when Ram was the General Chair. We will hold an open ODC tutorial at ISSRE to introduce concepts and give you an overview. Learn what ODC can do to improve end user experience, gain insight and turn your software development capabilities into a competitive advantage.

Security and Privacy - Reliability of Embedded and Cyber-Physical Systems

Ram Chillarege and Jeff Voas guest edited the special issue of the Security and Privacy magazine, on "Reliability of Embedded and Cyber-Physical Systems". This is the September/October 2010 issue, published by the IEEE Computer Society

Guest Editors' Introduction
As an industry matures, different things become important to it. An analogy with human growth offers an excellent example: what is important to adolescents differs from what is importnat to adults, and similarly, to an an aging population. Our world of software is now more than half a century old,......

ODC Deep Dives - Understand what drives customer sentiment

Ram Chillarege, 2010

Appears in ISSRE 2010, International Symposium on Software Reliability Engineering, November 2010, San Jose, CA.

Abstract --

A holistic insight into a product development history and customer consequences is possible via ODC retrospectives, provided the sample space is carefully chosen and the data integrated with related process measurements. This case study and method illustrates how to achieve this insight.

Chandrapal Project at Kadiyali Higher Primary School

Education Project
Fifteen Years Later - we are in the midst of collecting feedback and assessment. The background of the project is on an audio clip by Ram, and a report by Rajni Chandrasekhar from a few years ago. We understand the school has doubled in size, while similar schools in the area have shrunk, a clear indicator that this initiative/strategy is working, and a dramatic measure of the forces at play.
