State of the art in software quality assurance

摘要: The authors present a summary of their understanding the publications that appeared in computing literature during last five-year period, with word quality as part title and dealing some or other aspects software assurance. Specifically, covers following eight sub-topics, viz., (i) models; (ii) timely QA feedback; (iii) quantitative approaches to predicting effectiveness QA; (iv) optimal choice methods; (v) design level (vi) impact parallel development options on quality; (vii) continued efforts even after operational deployment product; (viii) use CASE tools perceived value for at NASA JPL. This digest also includes summaries three short papers describing ongoing research prioritizing efforts; an Agile context; presenting status stakeholders development. Major trends observed pertain continuing product, which may be pertinent proliferation mobile applications; current different using concise sets metrics; hybrid approach tool combined expert judgment QA. emphasis activities spreading throughout product life cycle, from its beginning end, is clearly reviewed literature.
