Formal Technical Reviews
A formal technical review assesses the design and quality of a software
prototype. The technical staffs, who discuss the software’s quality requirements,
conduct it. Done during
the early stage of development, the formal technical
review detects errors and prevents them from passing to the end of the process
that will require rework.
Multi-Tier Testing Strategy
Software testing is important in quality assurance because
it helps detect bugs or
errors. Unit testing, integration testing, and system level testing are strategies
used by various IT organizations. A software developer
can perform unit and
integration testing while a software tester performs system and functional
testing. In some cases, selected clients participate in the testing process through
beta testing to help find errors before the software’s final release to the market.
Process Adherence
Process adherence focuses on the need for the software to adhere to the quality
procedures. It combines process monitoring and product evaluation. Process
monitoring ensures adherence to appropriate steps in the product development. It
monitors the software development processes by comparing the documented
procedures and the actual steps.
Product evaluation, on the other hand, ensures
adherence to the product standards. It ensures that the software meets the
requirements.
