- 3. What is Quality? 1.Accroding to computer literature Quality means “Meeting Requirement”. 2.The product has something that other similar products do not that adds value. (Product based Definition).
- 4. Software Quality Assurace Systematic activities providing evidence of the fitness for use of the total software product. It is achieved through the use of established guidelines for quality control to ensure integrity and prolonged life of software. It is a planned effort to ensure that a software product fulfils criteria and has additional attributes specific to the product.
- 5. It is the collection of activities and functions used to monitor and control a software project so that specific objectives are achieved with the desired level of confidence. It is not the sole responsibility of the software quality assurance group but is determined by the consenses of the project manager ,project leader, project personnel, and the users. Software Quality Assurace
- 6. Components of Quality Assurance
- 7. Software Testing Software testing is a popular risk management strategy.It is used to verify that functional requirements were met. The major purpose of verification and validation activities is to ensure that software design, code, and documentation meet all the requirements imposed on them.
- 8. Quality Control Quality control is defined as the processes and methods used to monitor work and observe whether requirements are met.It focuses on reviews and removal of defects before shipment of products. For small projects,the project personnel’s peer group or the department’s software quality coordinator can inspect the documents.on large projects a configuration control board may be responsible for quality control
- 9. Software Configuration Management. It is concerned with the labeling, tracking and controlling changes in the software elements of a system. It consists of activities that ensure that design and code are defined and cannot be changed without a review of the effect of the change itself and its documentation.
- 10. Elements of software configuration management.
- 11. Component Identification A basic software configuration management activity is to identify the Software components that make up deliverable at each point of development. In order to mange the development process one must establish methods and name the component standards.
- 12. Version control Software is frequently changed as it evolves through a succession of temporary states called versions. A software configuration management facility for controlling versions is a software configuration management repository or library.
- 13. Configuration Building To build a software configuration one needs to identify the correct components versions and execute the component build procedures.This is often called Configuration building. Software configuration management uses different approaches for selecting versions.The simplest method is to maintain all the component verisons.
- 14. Change control Software Change control is the process by which a modification to a software component is proposed. Modification of a configuration has four elements : a change request, an impact analysis of the change,a set of modifications and additions of new components and a method for reliably installing new componets.
- 15. Software Quality Assurance Plan Software quality assurance plan is an outline of quality measures to ensure quality levels within a software development effort. The plan provides the framework and guidelines for development of understandable and maintainable code.
- 16. Step to develop and implement a Software quality Assurance Plan Step 1. Document the plan. Step 2.Obtain Management Acceptance. Step 3.Obtain development acceptance. Step 4.Plan for implementation of the SQA Plan. Step 5.Execute the SQA Plan.
