NASA has been successfully sustaining the continuous operation of its critical navigation software systems for over 12 years.
To accomplish this, NASA scientists must continuously monitor their process, report on current system quality, forecast maintenance effort, and sustain required staffing levels.
Dan Port of the University of Hawaii at Manoa and Bill Taber of the Jet Propulsion Laboratory present some examples of the use of a robust software metrics and analytics program that enables actionable strategic maintenance management of a critical system (Monte) in a timely, economical, and risk-controlled fashion.
