SQA Consulting ...

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 CMMI.

SQA encompasses the entire software development process, which includes processes such as software design, coding, source code control, code reviews, change management, configuration management, and release management.

Test Management

Test Management is the supervision and implementation of the software test process, a sub-set of the software engineering process, and is intended to improve/expand test strategies and the management of resources involved in the test cycle.
We believe that it is the role of Test Management to ensure that projects deliver solutions that fit the business requirement. We take an active role in risk definition, development of Test Strategies, definition of Quality Programs and integrate into the software development lifecycle.
Improved Test Management Results:

• Quality Improvement
• Test Planning and tracking improvement
• Scheduling reliability and repeatability
• Test Phase Management
• Test Reporting

Test Management must be accessible to all members of the product team and management teams. It must provide a clear foundation for the testing process, reporting, and overall process improvement.

Test Planning

A test plan documents the strategy that will be used to verify and ensure that a product or system meets its design specifications and other requirements.
A solid Test Plan Should Contain:

• Introduction
