Learning Objectives You will learn about: • Basic principles about the Software Quality, • Software Quality Assurance and SQA activities • Software Reliability Introduction The quality is defined as “a characteristic or attribute of something”. As an attribute of an item, quality refers to measurable characteristics-things we are able to compare to known standards such as length, color, electrical properties, malleability, and so on. However, software, largely an intellectual entity, is more challenging to characterize than physical objects. Quality design refers to the characteristic s that designers specify for an item. The grade of materials, tolerance, and performance specifications all contribute to the quality of design. Quality of conformance is the degree to which the design specifications are followed during manufacturing. Again, the greater the degree of conformance, the higher the level of quality of conformance. Software Quality Assurance encompasses: ? A quality management approach ? Effective software engineering technology ? Formal technical reviews ? A multi tiered testing strategy ? Control of software documentation and changes made to it ? A procedure to assure compliance with software development standards ? Measurement and reporting mechanisms Software quality is achieved as shown in figure 2.1:  Figure 2.1: Achieving Software Quality |
