    TASK 1

    QUALITY SYSYTEM AND QUALITY ASSURANCE

    When the term 'quality system' is used, it means a formal management system you can

    use to strengthen your organisation. It is intended to raise standards of work and to make sure

    everything is done consistently. A quality system sets out expectations that a quality

    organisation should meet. Typically, these are the stages that organisations implementing a

    quality system aim to follow:

    Agree on standards. These concern the performance that staff, trustees and usersexpect from the organisation

    Carry out a self-assessment. This means that you compare how well you are doingagainst these expectations.

    Draw up an action plan. This will include what needs to be done, who will do it,how it will be done, and when

    Implement. Do the work Review. At this stage, you check what changes have been made and whether they

    have made the difference you were hoping to achieve.

    QUALITY ASSURANCE STANDARDS

    Quality management standards provide a framework for a system development and its

    processes and activities. It can help to improve efficiency by providing a best practice modelto follow and get best outcome.

    Quality Assurance Standards are published documents which describe in detail what systems

    should be used by a company to manage quality.

    The table below lists some of the QA standards issued by various bodies.

    ISO: International Organization for Standardization

    The ISO 9000 series of QA standards

    ISO 9000 is the name of a series of QA standards recognised by over 200 countries around

    the world and adopted as their national standards for QA. In Australia this series has been

  • 7/31/2019 Quality System FINAL

    4/22

    named the AS 3900 series, but this will change in mid 1995 to the AS/NZ/ISO 9000 series to

    identify it more closely with the international standard. AS 3900 and ISO 9000 have identical

    contents.

    The most important document in the ISO 9000 series is ISO 9001. This is the code against

    which audits are actually carried out (two other documents, ISO 9002 and ISO 9003, can also

    be audited against but these are 'cut down' versions of ISO 9001 for companies which do not

    need to comply with the entire code). All the other documents in the ISO 9000 series provide

    guidelines and explanations for how to apply ISO 9001.

    The principal features of ISO 9001 are that it,

    takes the basic principle of QA (the need for documented systems to support QA), andadds requirements to control system documentation to make sure it is kept up-to-date

    requires companies to carry out their own internal audits of their QA system to makesure it is working properly

    requires the QA system to be constantly monitored to ensure that it is effective, andthat changes are constantly made to improve it

    These requirements are illustrated in the diagram below.

    In addition, ISO 9001 requires organisations to include documented systems in their QA

    system to cover all aspects of:

    Basic quality control (inspection, testing, test records, traceability, etc.) A product's life cycle from the time negotiations start with the customer, through the

    design process, purchasing of raw materials, production, storage, and final delivery

    What is Software Quality?

    Minimum of bugs or errors

    Low defect rate(# of defects/size unit)

    High reliability(number of failures per n hours of operation)

    Measured as Mean Time to Failure (MTTF) probability of failure-free operation in a

    specified time.

    SOFTWARE QUALITY FACTORS

    Correctness: Accuracy, completeness of required output, Up to datedness, availability of the

    information

    Reliability: Maximum failure rate Efficiency: Resources needed to perform software function Integrity: Software system security, access rights Usability: Ability to learn, perform required task Maintainability: Effort to identify and fix software failures (modularity,

    documentation, etc)

    Flexibility: Degree of adaptability (to new customers, tasks, etc) Testability: Support for testing (e.g. log files, automatic diagnostics, etc) Portability: Adaptation to other environments (hardware, software) Reusability: Use of software components for other projects Interoperability: Ability to interface with other components/systems

    COST OF QUALITY

    Cost of software quality is an accounting technique that is useful to enable tor

    understanding of the economic trade-offs involved in delivering good-quality software.

    The following are the key dimensions of software quality.

    Level of satisfaction.The degree to which customers or users perceive that a software product meets

    their composite needs and expectations.

  • 7/31/2019 Quality System FINAL

    6/22

    Product value.The degree to which a software product has value for its various stakeholders

    relative to the competitive environment.

    Key attributesThe degree to which a software product possesses a combination of desired

    properties, e.g., reliability, portability, maintainability.

    Defectiveness.The degree to which a software product works incorrectly in target user

    environments due to debilitating operational defects.

    Process quality.In relation to the development process by which the product is produced, it

    means good people doing the right things in an effective way.

    SOFTWARE DEVELOPMENT RISKS AND FAILURES

    Software developers continually develop and improve techniques to reconcile risk of

    failure in software development projects. They are sending significant attention to risks

    which contribute to impeding a project; risks which contribute to miss schedules, budget

    overrun, and failure to meet the systems specified requirements. In risk analysis and

    improvement fiction the primary focus is on the project development vision defined in terms

    of budget and schedule overruns and not on satisfying the customer by meeting technical

    requirements. Risks are future uncertain events with a probability of occurrence and a

    potential for loss. Risk identification and management are the main concerns in every

    software project. Effective analysis of software risks will help to effective planning andassignments of work.

    Technical Risks:

    Technical risks generally lead to failure of functionality and performance.

    Causes of technical risks are:

    Continuous changing requirements No advanced technology available or the existing technology is in initial

    stages.

  • 7/31/2019 Quality System FINAL

    7/22

    Product is complex to implement. Difficult project modules integration.

    Business Risks:

    Business risks mainly affect on project and finally on company economy and may lead to

    project failure.

    Wrong budget estimation. Cost overruns Project scope expansion

    SERVICE LEVEL AGREEMENT

    The quality of the agreement is a matter of substantial importance. It must be complete,

    comprehensive and accurate in its coverage. Importantly, both parties must understand the

    contents and their obligations described within.

    A service level agreement is a document which defines the relationship between two

    parties: the provider and the recipient.

    This is clearly an extremely important item of documentation for both parties. If used

    properly it should:

    Identify and define the customers needs Provide a framework for understanding Simplify complex issues Reduce areas of conflict Encourage dialog in the event of disputes Eliminate unrealistic expectations

    Specifically it should embrace a wide range of issues. Amongst these are usually the

    following:

    Services to be delivered Performance, Tracking and Reporting Problem Management

  • 7/31/2019 Quality System FINAL

    8/22

    Legal Compliance and Resolution of Disputes Customer Duties and Responsibilities Security

    IPR and Confidential Information Termination

    One of the most discouraging tasks facing a Service Level Manager is the creation and

    maintenance of Service Level Agreements (SLA); their behind the Operational Level

    Agreements (OLA); and the underpinning contracts agreed with third party service providers.

    Figure SLA

    A well formulated agreement is an essential requirement for the provision of any IT

    service. It clearly sets out the obligations of both the service provider and the customer and

    defines the parameters for the delivery and measurement of the service. Naturally, the quality

    of the agreement created is very important. In order to serve its purpose it must be

    comprehensive and accurate and be written in language that both parties understand.

    TASK 2

    QUALITY PLAN

    A Quality Plan helps you schedule all of the tasks needed to make sure that your

    project meets the needs of your customer. It comprises two parts; the Quality Assurance Plan

    lists the independent reviews needed and the Quality Control Plan lists the internal reviews

    needed to meet your quality targets. By using Quality Assurance and Quality Control

    techniques, you can create a comprehensive Quality Management Plan for your project.

    The objective of the Software Quality Plan is to ensure that developing software is evaluated

    to determine that the desired quality has been achieved. This is performed by creating a

    process to provide independent assessment of whether the desired quality has been achieved.

    It will help you to set quality targets for your project to ensure that the deliverables produced,

    meet the needs of your customer.

    You can then use it to schedule quality control and quality assurance activities, to assure

    your customer that the quality targets will be met.

    You can use this Quality Plan to set quality targets by:

    o Identifying the customers requirementso Listing the project deliverables to be producedo Setting quality criteria for these deliverableso Defining quality standards for the deliverableso Gaining your customers agreement with the targets set

    QUALITY MANUAL

    This document details the corporate quality policy and structure of the Company and

    references appropriate Operating Procedures. A Quality Manual is the document that

    describes the elements of the quality system used to assure customer requirements, needs, and

    expectations are met. Quality manuals shall include responsibilities and authorities for each

    element of the quality system.

    VERSION CONTROL

    A version control system is a combination of technologies and practices for tracking and

    controlling changes to a project's files, in particular to source code, documentation, and web

    pages. If you have never used version control before, the first thing you should do is go find

    someone who has, and get them to join your project. These days, everyone will expect at least

    your project's source code to be under version control, and probably will not take the project

    seriously if it doesn't use version control with at least minimal competence.

  • 7/31/2019 Quality System FINAL

    11/22

    Version control as a tool has been immensely famous within programming circles, but its

    use is not limited just for source code. The biggest problem might be to make sure that every

    person has the latest work. When all of the contributors work together they make changes to

    every part, and then the changes need to be shared.

    Large, fast-changing projects with many authors need Version Control System to track

    changes and avoid general confusion. A good VCS does the following:

    Backup and Restore Synchronization Short-term undo Long-term undo

    Track Changes Track Ownership Sandboxing Branching and merging

    CROSS-REFERENCE

    A cross-reference is an instance within a document which refers to related or

    synonymous information elsewhere, usually within the same work. To cross-reference or to

    cross-refer is to make such connections. The term "cross-reference" is often abbreviated as x-

    ref, xref, or, in computer science, XR. Cross-referencing is usually employed to either verify

    claims made by an author or to link to another piece of work that is of related interest. See,

    for example, the Linux cross-reference tool, LXR for init/main.c. In an index, a cross

    reference is often denoted by See Also. For example, under the termAlbert Einstein in the

    index of a book about Nobel Laureates, there may be the cross-reference See Also: Einstein,

    Albert.

    REVISION CONTROL SYSTEM

    This is a version control system that stores all the updates of a single document in a

    special file called a revision group contained in a revision control system (RCS) directory.

    When a file is baseline a revision group for it is set up and the initial version of the document

    is numbered 1.1. When a new version of the document is checked then a new number is

    allocated to it, before added to the revision group. The numbering system is based on a

    hierarchical tree structure that allows branching for:

    corrections to released documents; development modifications;

    Processing conflicting changes.

    TASK 3

    Project Management Tools

    System development process combined with project management tools to concern with the

    techniques that can be employed to manage the activities that need to be undertaken during

    the development of a system.

    Effective system development planning will help to ensure that the systems are delivered:

    Within cost; Within the time constraint; To a specific standard of quality.

    Project management techniques will be presented, the Milestone Chart (or Gantt chart), CPM

    and PERT.

    1. Milestone ChartsMilestones mark significant events in the life of a project, usually critical activities which

    must be achieved on time to avoid delay in the project.

    Milestones should be truly significant and be reasonable in terms of deadlines (avoid using

    intermediate stages).

    Examples include:

    Installation of equipment; Completion of phases;

    File conversion;

    Cutover to the new system.

    2. Gantt ChartsA Gantt chart is a horizontal bar or line chart which will commonly include the following

    features:

    Activities identified on the left hand side;

  • 7/31/2019 Quality System FINAL

    13/22

    Time scale is drawn on the top (or bottom) of the chart; A horizontal open rectangle or a line is drawn against each activity indicating

    estimated duration;

    Dependencies between activities are shown; At a review point the rectangle are shaded to represent the actual time spent (an

    alternative is to represent actual and estimated by 2 separate lines);

    A vertical cursor (such as a transparent ruler) placed at the review makes it possible toestablish activities which are behind or ahead of schedule.

    Figure: Example of a Gantt chart

    3. Critical Path Method (CPM)The Critical Path Method (CPM) is one of several related techniques for doing project

    planning. CPM is for projects that are made up of a number of individual "activities." If some

    of the activities require other activities to finish before they can start, then the project

    becomes a complex web of activities.

    CPM provides the following benefits:

    Provides a graphical view of the project. Predicts the time required to complete the project. Shows which activities are critical to maintaining the schedule and which are not.

    http://productdevelop.blogspot.com/2009/10/critical-path-method-cpm.htmlhttp://productdevelop.blogspot.com/2009/10/critical-path-method-cpm.html
  • 7/31/2019 Quality System FINAL

    14/22

    CPM models the activities and events of a project as a network. Activities are depicted as

    nodes on the network and events that signify the beginning or ending of activities are

    depicted as arcs or lines between the nodes.

    4. PERT Chart (Program Evaluation Review Technique)A PERT chart is a project management tool used to schedule, organize, and coordinate

    tasks within a project.

    A PERT chart presents a graphic illustration of a project as a network diagram consisting of

    numbered nodes (either circles or rectangles) representing events, or milestones in the project

    linked by labelled vectors (directional lines) representing tasks in the project. The direction of

    the arrows on the lines indicates the sequence of tasks. In the diagram, for example, the tasks

    between nodes 1, 2, 4, 8, and 10 must be completed in sequence. These are called dependent

    or serial tasks. The tasks between nodes 1 and 2, and nodes 1 and 3 are not dependent on the

    completion of one to start the other and can be undertaken simultaneously.

    PROJECT MANAGEMENT SOFTWARES

    Project management software is a class of computer applications specifically designed

    to aid with planning and controlling resources, costs and schedules of a project.

    There are many packages on the market, typically referred as MS Project, Project Manager

    Software, Web Based Project Management Software, Project Tracking Software, Software

    Project Management Tools, Project Management Software Tool, CPM Software, PERT

    Software, Gantt software ect..

    MS Project

    Microsoft Office Project is a software application sold by Microsoft that provides project

    management tools to manage projects. The program, which has many different versions,

    allows users to:

    Understand and control project schedules and finances.

  • 7/31/2019 Quality System FINAL

    15/22

    Communicate and present project information. Organize work and people to make sure that projects are completed on schedule.

    MS Project also provides functionality that allows the user to create reports that communicate

    the status and progress of a project.

    How to Create a Project Plan in Microsoft Project

    The basic steps of creating and working with a project plan in Microsoft Project (which are

    saved as MPP files) is as follows:

    1. Create a new project file by clicking on New in the File menu. Choose Blank Project.

    2. Set a project start date by choosing Project | Project Information. Enter the start date in the

    Start date box.

    3. Save the Project file by clicking Save and specifying a project name.

    4. Now the project manager can plan the steps of the project, called tasks. Go to View | Gantt

    chart. In the Task Name field, enter each task, including details such as milestones.

    5. Enter durations by clicking on the Duration field. The small letter "d" represents days. 2d

    represents two days. Designate a milestone by entering a 0d duration. Dont enter start and

    finish dates for the tasks; allow the Duration field to set these automatically.

    6. Link tasks (for example, "this task must be done before that task") by selecting the tasks

    that are related and clicking the Link Tasks button on the toolbar.

    7. Next, create a resource pool from which to allocate resources to the project. Click View |

    Resource Sheet. In the Resource Name field, enter all resources to be used in the project.

    8. Now the project manager must assign resources to each task. A resource is typically aperson, but it can also include non-human entities, such as equipment or expenses. Go to

    View | Gantt Chart, then select the task to which to assign a resource. Choose the Assign

    Resources button and in the dialog box choose the resource names and choose Assign.

    9. Once resources are assigned, task type must be set in order for Project to lay out the

    schedule That task type may be duration, work, or units. The project manager can set a

    default task type in Tools | Options | Schedule. Individual tasks may also have their own type;

    select the task and click Task Information | Advanced.

  • 7/31/2019 Quality System FINAL

    16/22

    10. Now the project manager is ready to set the project baseline in Microsoft Project. Once

    the project has been approved, this baseline can be fixed and used throughout the duration of

    the project to monitor how well project is tracking against expectations. To view the baseline

    against actual duration, resources, or costs, choose View | Tracking Gantt. The lower bar in

    the chart is the baseline. The upper bar represents the actual project status.

    11. The project manager must now keep the project plan up to date through Microsoft

    Project. Choose the task to be updated, then choose Tools | Tracking | Update tasks. In the

    dialog box, enter progress data, either in the form percentage complete, actual dates, actual

    durations, or actual work.

    12. To view project progress in Microsoft Project, choose Report | Visual Reports.

    13. To close the project, create a final report by the means in step 12. If the project plan was

    useful to the management of the project, the project manager may wish to create a template

    plan to use in the future. Choose File | Save As | Template.

    TASK 4

    SYSTEM ANALYSIS AND DEVELOPMENT TOOLS

    SOFTWARE DEVELOPMENT METHODOLOGY

    Software engineering is the practice of using selected process techniques to improve

    the quality of a software development effort. This is based on the assumption, subject to

    endless debate and supported by patient experience, that a methodical approach to software

    development results in fewer defects and, therefore, ultimately provides shorter delivery

    times and better value. The documented collection of policies, processes and procedures

    used by a development team or organization to practice software engineering is called its

    software development methodology (SDM) or system development life cycle

    V-Shaped Model

    The V-Shaped life cycle is a sequential path of execution of processes. Each phase

    must be completed before the next phase begins. Testing is emphasized in this model more so

    than the waterfall model though. The testing procedures are developed early in the life cycle

    before any coding is done, during each of the phases preceding implementation.

    Requirements begin the life cycle model just like the waterfall model. Before development is

    started, a system test plan is created. The test plan focuses on meeting the functionality

    specified in the requirements gathering.

    The high-level design phase focuses on system architecture and design. An integration test

    plan is created in this phase as well in order to test the pieces of the software systems ability

    to work together.

    The low-level design phase is where the actual software components are designed, and unittests are created in this phase as well.

    The implementation phase is, again, where all coding takes place. Once coding is complete,

    the path of execution continues up the right side of the V where the test plans developed

    earlier are now put to use.

  • 7/31/2019 Quality System FINAL

    18/22

    Figure 4: V Shape Model

    Advantages

    Simple and easy to use. Each phase has specific deliverables. Higher chance of success over the waterfall model due to the development of test

    plans early on during the life cycle.

    Works well for small projects where requirements are easily understood.

    Disadvantages

    Very rigid, like the waterfall model. Little flexibility and adjusting scope is difficult and expensive. Software is developed during the implementation phase, so no early prototypes of the

    software are produced.

    Model doesnt provide a clear path for problems found during testing phases.

    PROTOTYPING

    Software prototyping is to allow people who have some 'stake' or interest in a system

    to 'test drive' designs, rather than having to interpret those designs based on some other

  • 7/31/2019 Quality System FINAL

    19/22

    means. Though not all prototypes are interactive, the most useful application of prototyping is

    based upon providing a simulation of some behaviour and functionality.

    Developers investigating implementation approaches to a problem often try out

    different coding techniques to see if they work well. Using HTML, Jscript, SQL, DHTML,

    Win32, or specific coding approaches within each technology have different tradeoffs.

    Sometimes a prototype represents an exploration into what technology will work well to

    support a certain UI or web feature.

    Sometimes prototypes are created for a combination of these reasons. If a team plans

    well enough, they can allot time for a developer and a designer or project manager to work

    together on a prototype. In such cases, its extremely important to clearly define the goals and

    the contributions each team member is expected to make. You want everyone to be clear on

    what the goals are, whats at stake, and what the potential outcome will be.

    SOFTWARE TESTING

    Software testing is any activity aimed at evaluating an attribute or capability of a program

    or system and determining that it meets its required results. Although crucial to software

    quality and widely deployed by programmers and testers, software testing still remains an art,due to limited understanding of the principles of software. The difficulty in software testing

    stems from the complexity of software Testing is more than just debugging. The purpose of

    testing can be quality assurance, verification and validation, or reliability estimation. Testing

    can be used as a generic metric as well. Correctness testing and reliability testing are two

    major areas of testing. Software testing is a trade-off between budget, time and quality. Those

    could be categorized as:

    Correctness testing Black-box testing

    Black box testing treats the software as a "black box"without any

    knowledge of internal implementation. Black box testing methods include:

    equivalence partitioning, boundary value analysis, all-pairs testing, fuzz

    testing, model-based testing, exploratory testing and specification-based

    testing.

    White-box testing

  • 7/31/2019 Quality System FINAL

    20/22

    White box testing is performed based on the knowledge of how the system is

    implemented. White box testing includes analyzing data flow, control flow,

    information flow, coding practices, and exception and error handling within

    the system, to test the intended and unintended software behaviour. White box

    testing can be performed to validate whether code implementation follows

    intended design, to validate implemented security functionality, and to

    uncover exploitable vulnerabilities.
