    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 control involves a set of procedures to ensure that the software meets its quality goals, supporting systematic checking, 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 software quality assurance processes of a software development or maintenance project, applicable to standalone software products and software products part of a system, and aids in software process improvement efforts and consistency maintenance for quality management systems.

    • IEEE 830-2009 standard defines the contents and characteristics of a good software requirements specification, including introduction, overall description, specific requirements, and supporting information, and key characteristics of being unambiguous, complete, modifiable, traceable, verifiable, consistent, and usable.

    • Software testing is an important means of assessing software quality, systematically exercising the software in controlled circumstances to affirm its quality, and measuring according to attributes or product characteristics in need.

    • ISO/IEC/IEEE 29119 standard provides standards for organizational test policy and strategy, project test management, non-functional testing, and system and acceptance testing techniques, applicableSoftware Testing and Quality Engineering: Definitions, Approaches, and Methodologies

    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 control involves a set of procedures to ensure that the software meets its quality goals, supporting systematic checking, 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 software quality assurance processes of a software development or maintenance project, applicable to standalone software products and software products part of a system, and aids in software process improvement efforts and consistency maintenance for 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 two models of software quality: Quality In Use and System/Software Product Quality.

    • A software requirements specification is a document that clearly defines the system under development, covering system needs, a high-level description of the system functionality, goals of the system, definition of terms and acronyms, and referencing existing systems, procedures, and requirements.
