Software quality assurance (SQA) is a means and practice of monitoring all software engineering processes, methods, and work products to ensure compliance against defined standards. [1] It may include ensuring conformance to standards or models, such as ISO/IEC 9126 (now superseded by ISO 25010), SPICE or CMMI .
The quality control team tests and reviews software at its various stages to ensure quality assurance processes and standards at both the organizational and project level are being followed. [ 1 ] [ 2 ] (Some like Sommerville link these responsibilities to quality assurance rather than call it quality control. [ 3 ] )
In software project management, software testing, and software engineering, verification and validation is the process of checking that a software engineer system meets specifications and requirements so that it fulfills its intended purpose. It may also be referred to as software quality control.
Software quality control is the set of procedures used by organizations [1] to ensure that a software product will meet its quality goals at the best value to the customer, [2] and to continually improve the organization’s ability to produce software products in the future. [1]
The Project Management Institute's PMBOK Guide "Software Extension" defines not "Software quality" itself, but Software Quality Assurance (SQA) as "a continuous process that audits other software processes to ensure that those processes are being followed (includes for example a software quality management plan)." whereas Software Quality ...
For this reason, baseline identification, monitoring, and retrieval are critical to the success of configuration management, and ultimately, project quality. Conversely, the configuration of a project includes all of its baselines, the status of the configuration, all audits, and all metrics collected.
The project execution is the process of completing the tasks defined in the project plan. The purpose of project monitoring and control is to keep the team and management up to date on the project's progress. If the project deviates from the plan, then the project manager can take action to correct the problem.
A software development methodology is a framework that is used to structure, plan, and control the life cycle of a software product. Common methodologies include waterfall , prototyping , iterative and incremental development , spiral development , agile software development , rapid application development , and extreme programming .
