Inhaltsangabe

Software quality assurance (SQA) systems are vital for software developers in the software and the electronics industries as well as for information systems divisions in organizations. This book, based on many years of consulting and teaching experience, is designed to serve three audiences: students at universities and colleges, participants in vocational training courses in the industry and practitioners/professionals. Each chapter will conclude with commonly raised questions, problems, short case studies, and topics for discussion. The methodology to be presented in the book conforms with the requirements of ISO 9000 standards (ISO 9001 Quality Management and Quality Assurance Standard and of ISO 9000-3 Guidelines for the Application of ISO 9001 to the Development, Supply, Installation and Maintenance of Computer Software). The topics that will be covered will conform with the requirements of most vocational training programs (e.g.. the American Society for Quality's training program for Certified Software Quality Engineers). The book is designed to include in its appendices a collection of useful templates and checklists containing items of great interest to practitioners and students, and is accompanied by an Instructor's Solutions Manual and PowerPoint Slides.

Software Quality Assurance

From Theory to Implementation

Daniel Galin

Software quality assurance (SQA) is becoming increasingly important to the software and the electronics industries as software systems become more complex and integrative. This book is designed to serve the three audiences who will be facing the SQA challenge: students at universities and colleges, participants in vocational training courses and software development and maintenance practitioners/professionals.

The book is a product of the author’s many years of consulting and teaching experience.

Features:

• A broad view of SQA. Discussion goes beyond classic custom-made software to include issues of in-house software development, outsourcing, and SQA in small organizations.
• Comprehensive discussion of practical issues. Stress is placed throughout on SQA application, operation, organization and control.
• Comprehensive coverage of SQA topics. Topics rarely covered in SQA texts are included: procedures and work instructions, supportive quality devices, costs of software quality and the actors participating in the SQA framework.
• State-of–the-art topics. Automated testing, computerized SQA tools and international standards (e.g., ISO 9000-3) are among the topics covered.
• Pedagogical support. Each chapter includes summary frames, case studies, real-life examples and implementation tips, review questions and topics for discussion.
• On-line instructor’s guide. The guide contains lesson planning guidelines, PowerPoint presentations and a test bank.
  

The book comprehensively covers the ISO 9000-3 requirements. It also provides a substantial portion of the body of knowledge required for the CSQE (Certified Software Quality Engineer) as outlined by the ASQ (American Society for Quality).
