A SQA plan is prepared for the SW project ATADP.
The SQA group’s activities are performed IAW the SQA plan.
The SQA group participates in the preparation & review of the project’s SW dev plan, standards, & procedures.
The SQA group reviews the SWE activities to verify compliance.
13
The SQA group audits designated SW work products to verify compliance.
The SQA group periodically reports the results of its activities to the SWE group.
Deviations identified in the SW activities & SW work products are documented & handled ATADP.
The SQA group conducts periodic reviews of its activities & findings with the customer’s SQA personnel, as appropriate.

The Project Manager may not necessarily define the quality goals for the project, but ensures that these definitions are created and agreed by the customer, and captured ultimately in the Software Requirements Specification. The developing organization may also have a standard set of quality goals, in a quality policy statement, which can form the basis for these definitions.
Where possible, these objectives should be described in measurable terms. For example:
• "Zero known severity 1 defects" (...and include a definition of a severity 1 defect)
• "Maximum 3 second response time" • "User can pick up software and begin entering account information
within 1 hour"
16
The next step is to define the organization, roles and responsibilities that will participate in these tasks.
This should include the reporting channel for the results of Quality Assurance reviews.
In many situations, the Quality Assurance task should submit its reports directly to the Project Review Authority.
The Rational Unified Process recommends that the Software Engineering Process Authority (SEPA) should have responsibility for the process aspects of quality, and perform process reviews and audits, as well as ensuring the proper planning and conduct of the review events described in the Review and Audit section of the Quality Assurance Plan.
17
The Quality Assurance Plan also references a number of other plans describing project standards and how various supporting process (e.g. configuration management) to be handled.
This information is used to help determine the types of Quality Assurance reviews that will be done, and their frequency.
The referenced plans would normally include the following: • Documentation Plan• Measurement Plan • Risk Management Plan • Problem Resolution Plan• Configuration Management Plan• Software Development Plan • Test Plan • Subcontractor Management Plan 18
Identify the tasks of Quality Assurance. Typically these reviews would include:
• Audit/review of project plans to ensure they follow the defined delivery process for the project.
• Audit/review of project to ensure the work performed is following the project plans.
• Approval of deviations from the standard organizational project processes.
• Process improvement assessments
The Project Review Authority and Project Manager together determine the schedule for Quality Assurance reviews and audits, and the schedule is captured in the project and iteration plan, which may then be referenced from the Quality Assurance Plan.
The contract may also allow the customer to request audits. 19

SQA processes provide assurance that the • software products and • processes
in the project life cycle • conform to their specified requirements
by planning, enacting, and performing a set of activities to provide adequate • confidence
that quality is • being built into
the software.
21
This means ensuring that the problem is clearly and adequately stated and that the solution’s requirements are properly defined and expressed.
SQA seeks to maintain the quality throughout the development and maintenance of the product by the execution of a variety of activities at each stage which can result in early identification of problems, an almost inevitable feature of any complex activity.
The role of SQA with respect to process is to ensure that planned processes are appropriate and later implemented according to plan, and that relevant measurement processes are provided to the appropriate organization.
22
The SQA plan defines the means that will be used to ensure that software developed for a specific product satisfies the user’s requirements and is of the highest quality possible within project constraints.
In order to do so, it must first ensure that the quality target is clearly defined and understood.
It must consider management, development, and maintenance plans for the software.
Refer to standard (IEEE730-98) for details.
23
The specific quality activities and tasks are laid out, with their costs and resource requirements, their overall management objectives, and their schedule in relation to those objectives in the software engineering management, development, or maintenance plans.
The SQA plan should be consistent with the software configuration management plan (refer to the Software Configuration Management KA).
The SQA plan identifies documents, standards, practices, and conventions governing the project and how they will be checked and monitored to ensure adequacy and compliance.
24
The SQA plan also identifies measures, statistical techniques, procedures for problem reporting and corrective action, resources such as tools, techniques, and methodologies, security for physical media, training, and SQA reporting and documentation.
Moreover, the SQA plan addresses the software quality assurance activities of any other type of activity described in the software plans, such as procurement of supplier software to the project or commercial off-the-shelf software (COTS) installation, and service after delivery of the software.
It can also contain acceptance criteria as well as reporting and management activities which are critical to software quality.
