Excerpt
Excerpt: This study determines the return on investment (ROI) for IV&V based on a comparison of two groups of computer software configuration items (CSCIs) associated with Space Shuttle ground systems. One group received IV&V services across the full development cycle, the other beginning in the code and development test phase. Observed differences in error densities between the two groups indicate that those CSCIs receiving full life cycle IV&V had fewer defects during code and development test. Industry data on the costs associated with finding and fixing these defects, combined with actual IV&V costs, are used to determine an effective ROI of between 1.25 and 1.82 for the IV&V. For reasons elucidated in the paper these results, good as they are, actually understate the full value of IV&V.
