Abstract :
In 1984, Bellcore Software Quality Assurance Engineering (SQAE) was established to assist clients in assuring the quality of software they purchase. The authors present Bellcore SQAE´s software quality assurance approach and discuss the objectives and accomplishments of the software surveillance program. They outline a program which focuses on developing a cooperative relationship between the buyer and supplier to successfully meet some of the challenges that face the Bellcore client companies in the 1990s and beyond
