Abstract
Complexity of telecommunications software and expectations of customers and the public regarding its quality are on the rise, while marketing and economic pressures dictate shorter product (or release) development times and lower development and maintenance costs. In general, the two goals are contradictory, and therefore it is not surprising that telecommunications industry faces some formidable software production problems.
