CapeCode helps organizations to develop
(or refine) and implement software quality assurance processes. The first step
on the road to delivering high-quality software is to establish a process that
will support the unique goals and needs of your organization. We can demonstrate
that a better software QA process leads to shorter time-to-market, lower cost
to support and maintain, and more satisfied customers. An effective software
quality methodology incorporates:
Process - documented procedures to guide and
support users of the methodology
People - management leadership; training and
support for all participants
Tools - used to support (not replace) the Process
The software quality process must be practical for the organization; it must support
the business objectives and be compatible with the culture. It must integrate
smoothly with the Development and Product/Project Management methodologies. The
software quality process must be cost-effective, according to the risks and costs
it enables the organization to avoid. CapeCode's
QA Process Consulting addresses nine essential process elements: Requirements
Management, Design Reviews, Code Reviews, Unit Testing and Qualification Testing,
Code control and configuration management, Test Planning, Test Case and Script development,
Defect Tracking, Test Automation, and Testing Metrics. The QA Process includes templates
or checklists for: Requirements reviews, Configuration Management, Master Test Plan,
Test Cases & Scripts, Traceability Matrix, and Defect tracking system selection.
IV&V
Independent Verification and Validation (IV&V ) is a process in which an independent organization conducts an unbiased review of products to verify and validate that the products meet the customers' requirements and are engineered or constructed according to standard practices. IV&V is composed of specific activities that are performed in parallel with and complement the development process: requirements, design, build, document verification, and program validation. Our vision is to provide a full service level that includes identifying the problems and how they can be corrected, becoming involved in the process rather than just acting as an external reviewer, with no interest in the outcome. Verification determines whether or not a system or product meets all specified requirements. It exposes requirement inconsistencies and design errors early in the development process when errors are less expensive to correct. Validation determines whether or not the system achieves the specified functional and performance levels in a reliable and efficient manner.
