Abstract
In a pilot process improvement program to move from CMM level 3 to level 5, a Raytheon group working on real-time embedded software decided to focus on Cleanroom software engineering technology. The article shares the group's encouraging lessons learned from tailoring Cleanroom to their specific needs. The author provides evidence to support their claims of success, but cautions readers who want to employ the same approach to their own organizations because concerns, issues, and barriers do exist.

Using an operational profile to guide testing ensures that if testing is terminated and the software is shipped because of schedule constraints, the most-used operations will have received the most testing and the reliability level will be the maximum that is practically achievable for the given test time.
