Study Notes
SQA Architecture
- SQA (Software Quality Assurance) is an activity to measure knowledge of maintaining software quality throughout the development life cycle.
Classes of SQA
- Divided into 6 classes:
- Pre-project components
- Components of project life cycle activities assessment
- Components of infrastructure error prevention and improvement
- Components of software quality management
- Components of standardization, certification, and SQA system assessment
- Organizing for SQA – the human components
Pre-project Components
- Defined before executing the project
- Activities include:
- Ensuring resources, schedule, and budget
- Defining development and quality plans
- Aligning perspectives of developer and project owner
Components of Project Life Cycle Activities Assessment
- Divided into 2 stages:
- Development life cycle stage
- Operation-maintenance stage
- Development life cycle stage activities:
- Detecting design and programming errors
- Sub-classes:
- Reviews
- Expert opinions
- Software testing
- Operation-maintenance stage activities:
- Specialized maintenance component
- Improving functionality maintenance tasks
- Assuring quality of project parts performed by subcontractors and external participants
Components of Infrastructure Error Prevention and Improvement
- Main activity: eliminating or reducing errors
- Applied to entire organization
Components of Software Quality Management
- Focused on:
- Controlling development process and maintenance
- Introducing managerial support to prevent and minimize schedule and budget failures
Components of Standardization, Certification, and SQA System Assessment
- Implementing international professional and managerial standards for the organization
Test your knowledge of Software Quality Assurance (SQA) and its role in the software development life cycle. Learn about the 6 components of SQA, from pre-project planning to software quality management. Measure your understanding of maintaining software quality throughout the development process.
