Engineering and internationalization
Raul Moreira Vidal

2. Agenda
• Actual context on Software Development
• Software problems
• Software Quality
• The Challenge of Internationalization
• Talking about Software Quality
• Conclusion

3. Actual context on Software
Development
• Worldwide increasing dependency on software
• Software increasing complexity
• High demand for shorter delivery times
• Global markets with keen competition from low-wage
countries
• Higher quality level requirements (usability, availability,
reliability, security, efficiency, safety, …)

4. • Too many failures
• Maintenance too expensive
• Not too many lessons learned from previous errors
Software Engineering became the solution!
(project vs process)
Software problems

5. Software Quality

6. Software Quality
• Lessons learned from previous experience
• Best practices
• Standards/ Models/ Frameworks
– CMMI for Dev
– CMMI for Services
– ITIL
– TSP/PSP
– IT MARK
– ….

7. The Challenge of
Internationalization
• Opportunity to play in the Big League (Champions’
League)
• Access to new markets, increase of business, more
profit, new opportunities and larger scale projects
• Most times Certification is required, or highly
recommended
Certification = Conformance with standards/ models

8. Talking about Software Quality
I would like to make a special tribute to someone who
inspired my trip on
Software Engineering land

9. “He was a wonderful leader and a wonderful man. He set
forth an energizing goal and an inspiring mission that we
all wanted to be a part of.” — Anita Carleton.
