Quality Management: Benchmark Software Review in Australian Practice

Dr Zoe Yuk Kuen Wong
Abstract

The aim of this paper is to explore software reviews in Australian practice. A total of 1380 companies were selected for the study in Australia. Of this number, 205 developers voluntarily participated in the research. The results suggest that software review is a common practice in software development in most Australian software companies. Results also suggest that a majority of the software companies hold ISO 9000 standards. There is a significant relationship between quality certified companies and software review performance.
