Quality Assurance
It is the review of system or software products and its documentation for assurance that system meets the requirements and specifications.
1. Purpose of QA is to provide confidence to the customers by constant delivery of product according to specification.
2. Software quality Assurance (SQA) is a techniques that includes procedures and tools applied by the software professionals to ensure that software meet the specified standard for its intended use and performance.
3. The main aim of SQA is to provide proper and accurate visibility of software project and its developed product to the administration.
4.It reviews and audits the software product and its activities throughout the life cycle of system development.
Objectives of Quality Assurance
The objectives of conducting quality assurance are as follows −
1.To monitor the software development process and the final software developed.
2.To ensure whether the software project is implementing the standards and procedures set by the management.
3.To notify groups and individuals about the SQA activities and results of these activities.
4.To ensure that the issues, which are not solved within the software are addressed by the upper management.
5.To identify deficiencies in the product, process, or the standards, and fix them.
Levels of Quality Assurance
There are several levels of QA and testing that need to be performed in order to certify a software product.
Level 1 − Code Walk-through
At this level, offline software is examined or checked for any violations of the official coding rules. In general, the emphasis is placed on examination of the documentation and level of in-code comments.
Level 2 − Compilation and Linking
At this level, it is checked that the software can compile and link all official platforms and operating systems.
Level 3 − Routine Running
At this level, it is checked that the software can run properly under a variety of conditions such as certain number of events and small and large event sizes etc.
Level 4 − Performance test
At this final level, it is checked that the performance of the software satisfies the previously specified performance level.
