2. Definition
• procedures, as transmitted in documents, are the detailed
activities or processes to be performed according to a given
method for the purpose of accomplishing a task
• Work instructions are used mainly in cases where a uniform
method of performing the task throughout the organization is
either impossible or undesirable.
3. List activities
Preparation new procedures
• Shoul deal with conceptual and organizational
framework
Implementation of new or revised
procedures
• Distributed in a team with instruction
Update procedures
5. Templates
• a format (especially tables of contents) created by units or
organizations, to be applied when compiling a report or some
other type of document.
6. Advantage
Facilitates the process of preparing documents
Facilitates review of documents
Ensures that documents prepared by the developer are more
complete
Provides for easier integration of new team members
Enables easier location of the information
8. Checklist
• the list of items specially constructed for each type of
document, or a menu of preparations to be completed prior
to performing an activity (e.g., installing a software package at
the customer site).
10. Advantage of Using Checklist
Helps developers carrying out self-checks of documents or
software code
Assists developers in their preparations for tasks
Assures completeness of document reviews by review team
members
Provides for easier integration of new team members
Facilitates improves efficiency of review sessions
13. Objective
To develop the knowledge and skillsnew staff
To assure conformityto the organization’sstandardsfor
software products(documentsand code)
To update the knowledge and skillsofveteran staffin
response to developmentsin the organization
To transmit knowledge of SQA procedures.
To assure that candidates for key software development
and maintenance positionsare adequately qualified
14.
15. Determining training and updating
needs
• determined by comparison of the staff’s current knowledge
with the updated knowledge requirements.
Training: for new employees, according to their
designated assignment
Retraining: for employees assigned to new positions or
receiving new assignments
Updating: for staff members as demanded by their
position.
17. Definition
• Defect correction is a limited activity directed toward
immediate solution of defects detected in a projector a
software system.
• Corrective and preventive actions are wider in scope; theyare
meant to initiate and guide performance oforganization-wide
actions that will eliminate the causes of known or
potentialfaults.
18. 5 main approachesfor introduction
of CAPA.
■ Updating relevant procedures.
■ Changing software developmentor maintenance practices and updating work
instructions.
■ Changing current to more effective software development tools that are less prone to
faults.
■ Improving reporting methods by revising task content and reporting frequencies. This
approach is meant to achieve earlier detection of faults and thus reduce damages.
■ Initiating training, retraining and updating ofstaff.
19. Activities of CAPA
Information collection
Analysis of information
Development of solutions and improved methods
Implementation of improved methods
Follow-up.
20. A. Information Collective
- Four main internal sources of information are the
(1)Software development process
(2) Software maintenance
(3) SQA infrastructure and
(4) Software quality management procedures.
- External sources of information are mainly customers’
application statistics and cus-
tomer complaints.
21. B. Analysis of collected
Information
Screening the information and identifying
potential improvements.
Analysis of potential improvements.
Generating feedback
22. • Follow-up of the flow of

implementation.
• Follow-up of outcomes.
25. Definition
• An approved unitofsoftware code, a documentor piece
ofhardware that is designed for configuration management
and treated asa distinct entity in the software configuration
management process.
26. SCIs are generally placed into 4 class
Design documents
Software code
Data files, including files of test cases and test scripts
Software development tools.
27. Configuration Management
Version
• A software configuration version isan approved set of the SCI
versions that constitute a documented software system ata
given point of time. The respective activities are controlled by
software configuration management procedures.
28. Task of software configuration
management
Controlofsoftware change
Release of SCI and software configuration
versions
Provision ofSCM information services
Verification ofcompliance to SCM procedures.
29. Main task of software change
control
Examining change requests and approving implementation those requests
that qualify.
Controlling the changesand assuring the quality of approved changes.
Documenting the approved changes.
Applying mechanisms thatpreventmore than one team from simultaneously
introducing changesinto the same SCI.
30. Type software configuration
• Baseline version
Configuration versionsthatare planned ahead, during a
system’sdevelopmentor operating stage. As part of the
process, baseline versions are also reviewed and approved.
31. • Intermediate version
software configuration versions released, in most cases, to
respond to immediate needs. These mayrange from correction
of defects identified in an important SCI to swift introduction
of adaptations to meet a new customer’s requirements.
34. Definitions
• A document that is currently vital or may become vitalfor the
development and maintenance of software systems as well as
for the management of current and future relationships with
the customer.
35. Objective
To assure To assure the future

36. Quality record
• a special type ofcontrolled document.
• It is a customer-targeted document that maybe required to
demonstrate full compliance with customer requirements and
effective operation of the software quality assurance system
throughout the development and maintenance processes.
