Quality Assurance and Control
Software quality assurance activities (SQAs) happen at each step of the software process and are carried out by both software engineers and an SQA group. Software engineers assure quality by applying rigorous technical methods and measures, and conducting formal technical reviews and, well-planned testing. The SQA group assists software engineers through a set of activities that address quality assurance planning, over-sight, record keeping, analysis, and reporting. These activities must be planned in this sub-section.
In a CM-based project plan, document verification and continuing performance audit activities should also be included.
