Chapter 1-QUALITY

Quality

 Quality is a defect free, robust, efficient and reliable, easy to learn and
use product solution.

Five Perspectives of quality :

 Transcendent
 I Know it when I see It
 Product Based
 Possesses Desired Features
 User Based
 Fitness for Use
 Development & Manufacturing Based
 Confirms to Requirements
 Value Based
 At an Acceptable Cost.
  Effectiveness – Doing the Right things
 Efficiency - Doing Things Right

SQF :

 Correctness
 Reliability
 Efficiency
 Integrity
 Usability
 Maintainability
 Testability
 Flexibility
 Reusability
 Interoperability

Defect,Bug,Fault,Failure :
 Defect: When actual result deviates from the expected result while
testing application or product then it is termed as a defect.
 Bug: Bug is a fault in program which causes it to behave
abruptly.Bugs are usually found during unit testing.
 Failure: The inability of a system or component to perform its
required functions .
 Fault: An incorrect step, process, or data definition in a computer
program which causes the program to perform in an unintended or
unanticipated manner. Fault is the result of error
 Error: Error is a mistake in coding Refers to the actual output of a
software and correct output.

Software Testing :
 Software Testing is a process of executing a program or application with the
intend of finding software bugs .It is done for assessing the
quality of product.

 Meets the business and technical requirements that guided it’s design and
development
 Works as expected

Need For Software Testing :

 Software testing is really required to point out the defects and errors that
were made during the development phases.
 It’s essential since it makes sure of the Customer’s reliability and their
satisfaction in the application.
 It is very important to ensure the Quality of the product.  Quality product
delivered to the customers helps in gaining their confidence.

 Testing is required for an effective performance of software application or

product.

Responsibility of Software Tester

 Testers should review and contribute to test plans, as well as analyzing,

reviewing and assessing requirements and design specifications.
 Testers execute and log the tests, evaluate the results and document
problems found

Quality Assurance :

“A Planned and systematic pattern of all actions necessary to provide

adequate confidence that the item or product conforms to established
technical requirements”.

Roles of QA :

 To establish a process to fix any proven defects early in and during the
product life cycle
 To establish new processes and monitor existing processes
 Define how defects are proactively mitigated
 Define how defects are found through verification or validation techniques
 Train organizations and share holders on general Quality issues
 Establish document and promote quality standard methods and Procedures
 Ensure compliance throughout the product life cycle

Quality Control :
 The purpose of Quality control is to identify defects and have them
corrected so that defects – free products are produced. Quality
control is limited to looking at products.

 Quality Control = Quality Testing

Quality Testing = Verification + Validation

Quality Testing :
Verification
The process of evaluating products of a development phase to
find out whether they meet the specified requirements. It is to
evaluate documents, test case, plan, code, requirement and
specification.
o Are we building the product right
o Activities: Review, Walkthrough, Inspection
o Static testing
 o verification take place before validation

Validation
o The process of evaluating a system or component during or at
the end of the development process to determine whether it
satisfies specified requirements.
o Dynamic Testing
o Evaluating the actual product
Are we building the right product?
Activity: Testing
