The totality of characteristics of an entity that bear on its ability to satisfy stated or implied needs.

Ensuring a product or project meets written specifications and task completeness.

Ensuring a product or project can be used as intended.

The process of measuring quality of activities throughout the project and taking corrective action as needed.

Ensuring that the project satisfies the needs for which it was undertaken.

Planning, managing, and controlling project/product quality requirements to meet stakeholder objectives.

Adjusting scope, time, and cost if stakeholders are not satisfied with the quality of the project.

Meeting written requirements for scope, time, and cost is not enough to satisfy stakeholders.

The process of identifying which quality standards are relevant to the project and how to satisfy them.

A document that details how the project team will manage quality throughout the project lifecycle.

Evaluating overall project performance to ensure it meets the established quality standards.

Monitoring specific project results to ensure they comply with quality standards and identify areas for improvement.

A technique used in quality planning to identify which variables have the most influence on the overall outcome of a process.

Key factors that directly contribute to meeting customer requirements and ensuring project success.

Understanding and addressing stakeholder needs, both stated and implied, to achieve stakeholder satisfaction.

The process of actively engaging stakeholders in the project to understand their needs and ensure their satisfaction.

The degree to which a system performs its intended function; what the system is designed to do.

Special characteristics of a system that make it appealing to users, like a specific feature or a unique design element.

How well a product or service performs as intended by the customer. It's about effectiveness and efficiency.

The ability of a product or service to consistently perform as expected under normal conditions, like a reliable car that always starts.

How easy it is to fix or update a product in the future. It's about making adjustments and repairs without too much hassle.

A process of ensuring your project meets quality standards. It involves activities like inspections, reviews, and audits to verify if the quality plan is followed.

A tool in QA that involves evaluating your project's performance and processes to see if they align with the established quality standards.

Regularly reviewing project processes to ensure they follow the quality management plan. It's like doing a check-up on how you're managing the project's quality.

Ensuring project results meet relevant quality standards by monitoring and recording them. This means making sure the project outputs are complete, correct, and meet customer expectations.

The process of examining outputs to verify they meet quality requirements, similar to a teacher grading an assignment.

Testing methods used to evaluate functionality and reliability. This includes various tests like software testing and stress testing to ensure it works as expected.

The process of identifying, categorizing, and fixing defects found in deliverables. This includes logging defects and assigning them to specific individuals for resolution.

Acceptance decisions determine if the products or services produced as part of the project will be accepted or rejected, similar to a manager approving a project.

Focuses on identifying and fixing defects in the final product or deliverable.

A tool used to identify the most significant factors contributing to quality problems, often based on the Pareto principle (80/20 rule).

A visual representation of Pareto analysis, showing the frequency of defects or problems ranked in order of importance.

A process of evaluating a product, service, or process to ensure it meets specified quality standards.

A type of testing that focuses on verifying the functionality of individual software components or units.

Testing should happen throughout the software development lifecycle, not just at the end.

Testing can be done manually or using automated tools to ensure efficient and thorough evaluation.

Integration testing focuses on testing the interaction between different components that are already working as individual units, ensuring they work together seamlessly.

System testing takes a holistic approach to testing by evaluating the entire system as a complete entity, considering all its interconnected components and functionalities.

User acceptance testing is the final stage where the intended users evaluate the system's usability and functionality to determine if it meets their needs and requirements. It's a crucial step before the system is officially accepted.

Cost of Quality (COQ) refers to all expenses related to achieving or failing to meet quality standards. It includes the cost of preventing defects and the cost of fixing errors.

Prevention costs are proactive investments aimed at preventing defects from occurring in the first place. These include activities such as team training and developing clear project standards.

Appraisal costs are incurred during the process of inspecting and evaluating work to ensure it meets quality criteria. This can involve testing, verification, and quality audits.

Internal error costs are incurred when defects are found before the product or service reaches the customer. This includes rework, scrap, and debugging.

External error costs are incurred when defects are found after the product or service reaches the customer. This might involve warranty claims, customer dissatisfaction, and legal issues.
