Quantifying Poka-Yoke in HQLS: A new approach for high quality in large scale software development

Abstract

Improving performance of software, web sites and services is a holy grail of software industry. A new approach is the implementation of Poka-Yoke method in software performance engineering is proposed. Poka-Yoke is a mistake proofing technique used in product design. We are proposing HQLS: a new approach for high quality in the large scale software development in this paper. The effectiveness of Poka-Yoke in software development was evaluated using a case study: product redesign mini-project given to six groups of students with this both quantitative and qualitative evaluation was done. Our proposed mistake proofing technique for software development using Poka- Yoke evaluation demonstrated the usability goals. The results showed that implementing Poka-Yoke technique improves the software development process. Improved UGAM and IOI scores showed linearity and justified Poka- Yoke implementation. Our findings recommend usage of techniques for mistake proofing for overall software performance. The main aim is to reduce errors in software development process.
