Introduction • IT organizations play a key role in enabling their businesses to stay ahead of the competition. Competitive differentiation becomes even more important in the commercial aerospace industry, where product launches are measured in billions of dollars and software delivery delays due to unforeseen quality problems have a huge impact on business and IT budget. • Setting and holding vendors to stringent delivery quality targets is one of the key objectives for Alain Ribera, Head of CAE Solutions Center for Airbus Engineering. Alain and his team use objective software quality and productivity measurements to transform the way they manage outsourcers, reducing rework and business disruption. 11/04/2011 Page 2

Action Plan Example Category Improvement Suggestion Priority Difficulty Performance • Method invocation inside the loop should be avoided. • Unnecessary objects creation should not be there in the classes. • try/catch blocks should not go inside the loop. In this scenario, we can place the loop inside the try/catch block. • Declare all methods that are using non instance fields as “static”. High Medium Low Page 25 11/04/2011

Implementation challenges Lessons learnt: • CAST is a project on its own: don’t neglect the implementation process • Need an appropriate organization (with the right level of people) • Position CAST at the right place in the build chain • Clearly define roles between the client, the operator of the platform and the outsourcer • Value comes from the recurrence of the process Page 27 11/04/2011
