A Research Study on importance of Testing and Quality Assurance in Software Development Life Cycle (SDLC) Models & Quality Assurance for Product Development using Agile & A Software Quality Framework for Mobile Application Testing
The users who use ready to use software products had better getting the products’ quality
information with classified by some kind of global standard metrics or technique for their
evaluation. But many of those software products’ companies don’t provide the quality
information because of the products are developed by their own development and evaluation
process. But those users want to get quality information to reduce evaluation cost. Therefore,
we develop our quality evaluation process with using quality characteristics of software
external quality model on ISO/IEC 9126-1 for our software products. This evaluation process
has feature of unsynchronized quality evaluation process toward development process. Also, the
process starts from definition of classified quality requirement based on quality subcharacteristics
at test planning process to quality analysis at test completion process under
software development cycle. We provide precise our products quality data for our users through
this evaluation process and the process might be reduced cost of our customers’ evaluation.
The document discusses software quality assurance (SQA) and defines key terms related to quality. It describes SQA as encompassing quality management, software engineering processes, formal reviews, testing strategies, documentation control, and compliance with standards. Specific SQA activities mentioned include developing an SQA plan, participating in process development, auditing work products, and ensuring deviations are addressed. The document also discusses software reviews, inspections, reliability, and the reliability specification process.

The document discusses planning for software quality assurance (SQA) and outlines the key elements of a software quality assurance plan (SQAP). It notes that an SQAP provides a roadmap for SQA activities and defines techniques, procedures, and methodologies that will be used to ensure timely delivery of software that meets requirements. The document then describes various sections that should be included in an SQAP, such as goals, tasks, standards, reviews, testing, problem reporting, tools, code control, and training. It also discusses the IEEE standard for SQAPs and provides examples of what types of information should be included in each SQAP section.

Industrial engineers work to improve processes, products, and systems. They focus on areas like project management, manufacturing, supply chain management, productivity, quality, and more. Some of their key roles include developing project plans, ensuring manufacturability, managing resources, conducting quality audits, developing strategic plans, and managing change. Industrial engineers use techniques like lean manufacturing, simulation, statistical analysis, and six sigma to solve problems in many different industries.
Software quality assurance (SQA) involves planning and implementing activities throughout development to ensure quality. SQA includes standards, reviews, testing, defect tracking, and risk management. Statistical SQA categorizes defects and identifies their root causes to improve processes. Reviews are important for uncovering errors and should involve preparation, focus on the work product, and result in accepting or rejecting the product. Metrics collected from reviews indicate their effectiveness at defect detection and removal.
Software testing is a long and multi-layer process which involves a lot of development and probing for the software. Quality assurance and quality management have never been as important as they are now.

SONY (NOVEMBER 2012 – CURRENT) PROJECT: GLOBAL WEB TRANSFORMATION (AGILE) CLIENT: SONY
INFORMATION SYSTEMS EUROPE / SONY CORP. US
The Global Web Transformation project aims to improve Sony’s competitiveness online and improve
efficiency of the content creation and maintenance processes by consolidating the web marketing platforms
from different regions into one global system.
The project plans to implement this system using an agile development technique, instead of the waterfall
model, which is traditionally used at Sony. The desired system functionality will be divided into pieces of
work that can be implemented within a sprint. These pieces of work are referred to as sub features. The
project has been split in waves, on a regional basis and each wave will consist of a number of releases. Each of
