UNDER CONSTRUCTION Welcome to theQuality Assurance for Software site.

What IS Software Quality Assurance?

First you must define "what is quality":

Quality is .........

The function of software quality that assures that the standards, processes, and procedures are appropriate for the project and are correctly implemented.

Software testing is a process used to identify the correctness, completeness and quality of developed computer software. Actually, testing can never establish the correctness of computer software, as this can only be done by formal verification (and only when there is no mistake in the formal verification process). It can only find defects, not prove that there are none.

The planned or systematic activities necessary to ensure that a component or system conforms to established technical requirements.

A planned and systematic approach to the evaluation of the quality of and adherence to software product standards, processes, and procedures. SQA includes the process of assuring that standards and procedures are established and are followed throughout the software acquisition life cycle. Compliance with agreed-upon standards and procedures is evaluated through process monitoring, product evaluation, and audits. Software development and control processes should include quality assurance approval points

Types of standards include:

Documentation Standards

Design Standards

Code Standards

Testing Standards

Configuration Management
