This paper presents an examination into the economics of software quality assurance. An analysis of the software life-cycle is performed to determine where in the cycle the application of quality assurance techniques would be most beneficial. The number and types of errors occurring at various phases of the software life-cycle are estimated. A variety of approaches in increasing software quality (including Structured Programming, Top Down Design, Programmer Management Techniques and Automated Tools) are reviewed and their potential impact on quality and costs are examined.
