Quality Planning
Quality Planning is the most important step in Software Quality Management. Proper planning ensures that the remaining Quality processes make sense and achieve the desired results. The starting point for the Planning process is the standards followed by the Organization. This is expressed in the Quality Policy and Documentation defining the Organization-wide standards. Sometimes additional industry standards relevant to the Software Project may be referred to as needed. Using these as inputs the Standards for the specific project are decided. The Scope of the effort is also clearly defined. The inputs for the Planning are as summarized as follows:
a. Company’s Quality Policy
b. Organization Standards
c. Relevant Industry Standards
d. Regulations
e. Scope of Work
f. Project Requirements
Quality Assurance
(1) The planned systematic activities necessary to ensure that a component, module, or system conforms to established technical requirements.
(2) All actions that are taken to ensure that a development organization delivers products that meet performance requirements and adhere to standards and procedures.
(3) The policy, procedures, and systematic actions established in an enterprise for the purpose of providing and maintaining some degree of confidence in data integrity and accuracy throughout the life cycle of the data, which includes input, update, manipulation, and output.
(4) The actions, planned and performed, to provide confidence that all systems and components that influence the quality of the product are working as expected individually and collectively.
Quality Control
The Quality Control Processes use various tools to study the Work done. If the Work done is found unsatisfactory it may be sent back to the development team for fixes. Changes to the Development process may be done if necessary.
If the work done meets the standards defined then the work done is accepted and released to the clients.
