Abstract
The IEEE CS/SEI Watts S. Humphrey Software Quality Award is named for Watts S. Humphrey, known as the "Father of Software Quality." Humphrey, following a long career with IBM, served at the SEI from 1986 until his death in 2010. He dedicated the majority of his career to addressing problems in software development including software quality, programmer motivation and commitment, team process discipline, and how organizations can best support these.
From 1994 through 2023, the SEI and the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) Computer Society cosponsored the award, which recognized outstanding achievements in improving an organization's ability to create and evolve high-quality software-dependent systems.
