Hello,
	I'm at present undertaking a research project as the last part of my
M.Sc. degree in Software Engineering. The title of the project is "Quality
Cost Estimation Metrics", and concerns the study and development of finance
based metrics to determine the total cost of quality in terms of conformance
costs and failure costs within a software development environment.
	As the project is only a few days old I would be very greatful
for any comments, points, ideas or references anyone might have about
this area. At
present I have only covered the basics of Quality Cost Models.

		Thanks in advance for any feed-back,
			Marcus Tabberer.
