Integration Build is a Software Configuration Management process intended to ensure that a stable up to date baseline is available for further development or for client release. Six Sigma is a methodology for process improvement that uses measurements and statistical analysis. This article presents a case study showing how Six Sigma was applied to reduce human effort, improve quality and provide a quantitative analysis on the Integration Build process of a Motorola Software Component.
