AuditReportParasoftAn Independent Audit - Prepared by Hamilton Management Consultants, LLC

Hamilton Management Consultants recently audited the productivity of Parasoft Corporation's software development processes.  The findings indicate that Parasoft’s development staff is from 8 to 15 times more productive than the industry standard.

This independent audit found that:

  • A Parasoft full-time equivalent developer manages an average of 282,000 LOC (code only) (vs. industry average 75,000).

  • Verified best practices in use by Parasoft include:
    • Centralized development and quality policy management
    • Documented and measured development processes
    • Task/iteration management and automated task distribution/tracking
    • Nightly execution of very large regression test suites
    • Verified implementation of defect prevention practices
    • Early and incremental bug fixes
    • High degree of common code reuse

  • The systems in place reduced the learning curve for new staff members.
