Software Quality Assurance of Management Processes Using Core Measures

Overview Software Quality Assurance (SQA) without measures is like a jet with no fuel. Everyone is ready to go but not much happens. This paper deals with the SQA activities to ensure the right fuel is available to reach the destination, namely high quality. There are three processes, common to both development and purchasing, that enable organizations to be high flyers and reach quality in the stratosphere.

The role of SQA, as described here, is to confirm that core measures are used effectively by management processes involving technical and purchasing directors, project and purchasing managers and process improvement groups. They cover:
1. Benchmarking and Process Improvement
2. Estimating and Risk Assessment
3. Progress Control and Reporting.
