Study Notes
Overview of Software Quality and Testing Standards
-
Software quality is the degree to which a product meets established requirements, accurately representing stakeholder needs, wants, and expectations.
-
The classification of software error causes includes faulty definition of requirements, client-developer communication failures, deliberate deviations from software requirements, logical design errors, coding errors, noncompliance with documentation and coding instructions, disintegrated testing process, user interface and procedure errors, and documentation errors.
-
Software quality planning involves producing a project-level quality plan to identify relevant quality standards and regulations, defining quality requirements and goals, selecting applicable software quality procedures, and supporting the introduction and utilization of new procedures and tools for software quality assurance.
-
Software quality assurance involves defining and evaluating software processes to ensure relevant quality standards are met, fulfilling technical requirements and stakeholder considerations, and considering external factors such as schedule and budget.

Software Quality and Testing Standards
-
Software quality refers to the degree to which a product meets established requirements, accurately representing stakeholder needs, wants, and expectations.
-
Software failures can be classified into categories such as faulty definition of requirements, client-developer communication failures, deliberate deviations from software requirements by the developer, logical design errors, coding errors, noncompliance with documentation and coding instructions, disintegrated testing process, user interface and procedure errors, and documentation errors.
-
Software quality planning involves identifying relevant quality standards and regulations, defining quality requirements and goals, selecting applicable software quality procedures, and supporting the introduction of new procedures and tools for software quality assurance.
-
Software quality assurance involves the definition and evaluation of software processes to ensure relevant quality standards are met, supporting systematic planning and implementation, fulfilling technical requirements and stakeholder considerations, and considering external factors such as schedule and budget.
-
Software quality control is a set of procedures to ensure that the software meets its quality goals, ensuring that the software is free from high defect rates, supporting systematic checking, supporting functional and non-functional requirements, and leading to verification, validation, and software testing.
-
IEEE 730-2014 Standard defines the requirements for initiating, planning, controlling, and executing the software quality assurance processes of a software development or maintenance project, producing a justified statement of confidence that a software product meets its established requirements and aiding in software process improvement efforts while ensuring consistency in quality management systems.
-
ISO/IEC 25010:2011 Standard defines the necessary and desired quality characteristics required in a software product, focusing on the representation of stakeholders’ needs, consisting of quality in use (Category A) and system/software product quality (Category B).
-
A software requirements specification is a document that clearly defines the system under development, covering system needs, high-level description of the system functionality, goals of the system, definition of terms, definition of acronyms, and references section for defining existing systems, procedures, and requirements.
-
Key characteristics of a software requirements specification include being complete, traceable, precise, understandable, unambiguous, organized, verifiable, correct, consistent, concise, modifiable, and usable.
-
Benefits of having a software requirements specification include understanding and specifying requirements, providing precise statements about the functions of the system, providing a basis for cost and schedule estimations, providing a baseline for validation and verification, mitigating difficulties in understanding and reading documents, preventing requirements confusion, and reducing development efforts.
-
IEEE 830-2009 Standard defines the contents and characteristics of a good software requirements specification, including introduction, overall description, specific requirements, and supporting information, with characteristics of being unambiguous, complete, modifiable, traceable, verifiable, consistent, and usable.
-
Software testing is a process used to verify that the software satisfies specific requirements and to detect errors, measured according to attributes or product characteristics in need, with metrics based on quality characteristics such as functionality, reliability, usability, efficiency, maintainSoftware Testing and Quality Engineering Fundamentals
-
A software test plan document describes the objectives, scope, approach, and focus of software testing.
-
The test plan should cover all requirements specifications, both functional and non-functional.
-
Integration testing involves combining two or more components into a larger structure for testing and can be carried out via parallel testing.
-
Finite state machines are models for describing the dynamic behavior of an object over time, consisting of states, transitions, inputs, and outputs.
-
Markov chains are finite state machines with stochastic transitions described with probability values.
-
Microsoft used finite state machines to model asynchronous callbacks in software systems, improving performance and reliability.
-
Agile software development framework supports constant dialogue, small releases, simple designs, and constant refactoring.
-
Agile software development values individuals and interactions, working software, customer collaboration, and responding to change.
-
Scrum is an Agile software development model that includes a team, product owner, scrum master, and developers/programmers.
-
Scrum includes events/activities such as sprint planning, daily scrum, sprint review, sprint retrospective, and sprint artifacts.
-
Oracle Agile PLM is a solution that helps businesses manage their product value chain, supporting cross-functional teams and agile product governance, collaboration, and cost.
-
Supporting standards for software test plans include IEEE 829, IEEE 1008, and IEEE 1012-2016, and roles and responsibilities include project leader, software quality assurance leader, testing team, business team, and testing support team.
