When computer software products are being developed, the process managers and software designers routinely make decisions that trade-off development budget, software features, and software quality. These decisions ultimately impact tremendously on the quality of the software, the company reputation and its profitability. We will develop procedures and guidelines that will help managers and developers in their decision-making process, by generating ongoing statistical data that can provide them with information to help them make these trade-offs in a systematic fashion, and to aid in producing software with measured, desirable quality versus cost. To develop these guidelines and procedures we will use some formal, mathematical models and proofs of concept. We will also obtain some results using experimental evidence. Other results will be extrapolated from data we have accumulated from previous real-world projects. Feedback from our preliminary work (from individuals, both academic and industrially-based, contacting us after reading our publications) indicates our work is significant and desirable to both business and development, and we will continue to work on expansion of our results and reports, with graduate student assistance.

在开发计算机软件产品时，过程经理和软件设计人员通常会做出权衡开发预算、软件特性和软件质量的决策。这些决定最终会对软件的质量、公司的声誉和盈利能力产生巨大的影响。我们将开发程序和指导方针，通过生成持续的统计数据来帮助管理人员和开发人员进行决策过程，这些统计数据可以为他们提供信息，帮助他们以系统的方式进行这些权衡，并帮助生产具有可测量的、理想的质量和成本的软件。为了制定这些指导方针和程序，我们将使用一些正式的数学模型和概念证明。我们还将利用实验证据得到一些结果。其他结果将从我们从以前的实际项目中积累的数据中推断出来。来自我们初步工作的反馈（来自学术界和工业界的个人，在阅读我们的出版物后与我们联系）表明我们的工作对商业和发展都是重要的和可取的，我们将在研究生的帮助下继续努力扩大我们的结果和报告。
