Impact of Change
In the Software Development Life Cycle, there must
a procedure to measure and
monitor change to ensure software quality. The measurement of software quality
ensures proper estimation of costs and resource requirements. To control quality,
it is important to measure the software’s quality
and compare it with the
standards.
Software quality metrics measure the effectiveness of tools and techniques,
product quality, and productivity of activities. They allow developers and
managers to propose changes and monitor activities
throughout the whole life
cycle of the software. Furthermore, these people can also initiate corrections to
software.
SQA Audits
SQA audits compare the software development
process with the standard
processes. It helps ensure maintenance of proper control over the documents in
the development process. Audits help the developer perform and monitor his
activities.
Record Keeping and Reporting
Record keeping and reporting keep information relevant to software quality
assurance. This activity compiles review,
change control, audits, and testing
results, as well as the other activities for future reference.
