SQA processes provide assurance that the software
products and processes in the project life cycle conform to their
specified requirements by planning, enacting, and performing a set of
activities to provide adequate confidence that quality is being built
into the software [SWEBOK]. |
Software quality assurance (SQA) consists of a means of monitoring the software engineering processes and methods used to ensure quality. The methods by which this is accomplished are many and varied, and may include ensuring conformance to one or more standards, such as ISO 9000 or a model such as CMMI. [Wikipedia] |
