- Course in a Nutshell
-
Unlike testing, software quality assurance starts even before a project begins, by ensuring that solid, workable development processes are in place and understood by everyone concerned. Software Quality Assurance (SQA) also encompasses an auditing function to ensure that those processes are being followed when the project does finally launch as well as a metrics function to measure the effectiveness of the processes and the quality of the products that emerge.
- Customize It!
-
- Is your organization primarily interested in the software process? We can create a version of the course that addresses software processes in detail.
- Similarly, we can orient the course toward the auditing process, or toward the metrics process.
- Does your organization view Software Quality Assurance primarily in terms of verification and validation? We can focus the course on the Verification and Validation activities, which comprise a subset of the development process.
