Understanding quality costs is recognized as a prerequisite for decreasing the variability of
the success of software development projects. This paper presents an empirical quality cost …

Today, the demand for security software is Six Sigma quality, ie practically zero-defects. A
practical and stochastic method is proposed for a Six Sigma security software quality …
