The inherent philosophy of Quality Assurance for software systems development projects is to ensure that the system meets or exceeds the agreed upon requirements of the end-users; thus creating a high-quality, fully functional and user-friendly application. This philosophy applies to all system development projects and includes mainframe, client server, and web based applications.
“Quality Assurance is more than just testing”
Quality Assurance is more than just testing. Quality Assurance is involved throughout a project’s lifecycle.
• The Quality Assurance effort begins with the analysis phase of the project, continues through the design and execution phases and proceeds until the application is in production and beyond.
• Introducing solid quality assurance concepts and methods into the system development life cycle early on and maintaining them throughout the Software Development Life cycle (SDLC) is the key to the overall success and total quality of the project.
Quality Assurance is a commitment to the Total Quality of the Project
• This commitment to the philosophy of Total Quality requires all team members to adhere to the guidelines and methods that will ensure the excellence of the system being developed.
This philosophy is the backbone for the Software Development Life cycle. As our IT industry matures we find that having sound development and quality assurance methodologies ensures that applications or application enhancements are delivered to our customers on time and with no production problems. When this process breaks down, and this can be for many, many reasons, we find that the product we deliver can be less than what was agreed upon.
