Excerpts from the Paper
Any discussion on the subject of CoQ leads one to acknowledge the contributions of Juran, Gryna and Crosby who emphasized that it is more economical to pay attention to quality early in the lifecycle of a product (by incurring prevention and appraisal costs) than to wait for products to fail (for non conformance) and then fix them (thereby incurring failure costs). Realizing its significance, the Software Engineering Institute (SEI) has made quality an integral part of its Capability Maturity Model Integration (CMMI) best practices.
