- 1. Software Quality Assurance Planning The Goals of Software Quality Assurance: To improve software quality by appropriately monitoring both the software and the development process that produces it. To ensure full compliance with the established standards and procedures for the software and the software process. To ensure that any inadequacies in the process, product and standards are brought to managements attention so that these inadequacies can be fixed
