Question 1 Learn about quality assurance in some other domain of engineering. Write a short essay (1 page) comparing software quality assurance with the domain of your choice. Include about 2 references. [Will be submitted by 5th of March] Question 2 There are three major differences between software products and other industrial products. 1. Identify and describe the differences. The three major differences between software products and other industrial products are Product complexity, Development and production process and Product visibility. Software product are mostly complex product which allow high number of operational options meanwhile other industrial product the complexity is less hence the number of operational options are lower. In term of development, the defect in software product is detected in one phase only which is product development. Meanwhile the defect in industrial product are detected every phase which are product development, product production planning and manufacturing. The software is invisible product hence the defects are not visible unless the testing is applied. On the other hand, the industrial products are visible and mostly the defects are visible which is easily can be identified, as an example changes in shape or color. 2. Discuss the ways in which these differences affect SQA. The product visibility is impacting the task of quality assurance, it will be difficult task as the product must be have correctly functioning for all options regardless of usage and the level of complexity. The other differences are impacting to the difficulty of detecting the software defects, as whole the developer will ends up with uncertainty of defect free software. Question 3 A software system comprise... ... middle of paper ... ...tware error • Logical design errors o Failure of system architect or system analyst in formulating the software requirement into proper algorithm of required system state • Coding errors o Misunderstanding the design docuemnt which leads to programmers mkae coding error. • Noncompliance with documentation and coding instructions o The non-complying software is expected to increase of error which made by development and maintenance team. • Shortcomings of the testing process o Incomplete test plan, lack of documentation and reporting of detected error and faults • User interface and procedure errors o Procedure error might give user incorrect direction due to the activities which are needed • Documentation errors o Error in documentation could lead to trouble of development and maintenance team. Error in the user manual will affect the user in using the application.
In this analysis includes a summary of the characters and the issues they are dealing with, as well as concepts that are seen that we have discussed in class. Such as stereotyping and the lack of discrimination and prejudice, then finally I suggest a few actions that can be taken to help solve the issues at hand, allowing the involved parties to explain their positions and give them a few immersion opportunities to experience their individual cultures.
The next step is the growth stage. In this stage product growth is monitored and big investments are made. Maturity stage the growth of the outputs is significant. For the company to ensure product survival in the market and gain a competitive advantage over competitors it has to incorporate product differentiation. The final stage involves product decline stage. In this juncture product sale goes down and the product identification
Moreover, the industry is quite innovative because old products are constantly improved and new products are regularly a...
Software systems are discrete-state systems that do not have repetitive structures. The mathematical functions that describe the behaviour of software systems are not continuous, and traditional engineering mathematics do not help in their verification." In other words some software can be so large that thorough testing can be almost impossible and so bugs in the software can go unnoticed. An example of this was when an Atlas-Agena rocket veered off-course when it was ninety miles up. Ground control had to destroy the $18.5 rocket.
Identify three criteria you consider to be the most important in a quality system. Briefly discuss your rationale for selecting these criteria.
What is product? Product can be anything, tangible and intangible. Product is anything that the company can offer to the consumer. Apple’s products are the best of service in the market. From computer to smartphone to tablet computer, today customer believe that if they get the apple product. Even that price is high also worth it. Apple products are usually high quality, so in some case that is the best of available device for customer. However, it is not perfect, many customers leave for a series of problems, so they deeply hurt.
Above recommendations might improve the quality and reduce the defects & customer complaints. They might also help making the ramp up faster, improving the process and increasing the savings per product launch ---------> Maintain the high quality image, Increase in the market share. However there would be a trade-off on flexibility and creativity.
The product constitutes of two major aspects which are tangible and intangible in nature. The tangible part is the product and the packaging and the intangible part constitutes of factors like installation services, warranties, credit etc. In case of Apple Products the tangible part or the product and the packaging are best in class. Apple is into deep market research and considers the varying taste of the consumer and designs and innovates the products accordingly. The IPhones or the IPODS are ...
Products are not standardized and vary by country in terms of type, packaging and specification. This increases production time, production costs, lead tim...
The team implementing the new system were required to do both functional and systematic requirements thus affecting the implementation of the new system
Product differentiation is a concept first proposed by Edward Chamberlain in 1933. He put forward the idea that it was possible to distinguish one product from another in the mind of consumers, and that in doing so businesses could make products more attractive to a target market. During the early 20th century, as businesses became larger, advertising was increasingly used to communicate product differentiation to the masses.
Computer software and files are no different from artistic products, as their creation also involves a great deal of thought and effort. The laws of copyright cover software. As it takes a great deal of money, skill, time and effort to produce and maintain application software, copyright also protects the large monetary investment made by the software company. The main problems found with software items are the ease of copying and difficulty of detecting breaches of copyright.
...times developers may not carry out quality assurance test (which make sure that the software is in pristine condition), and as a result of this, there could be problem with the software. Testing software before it’s rolled out for clients is really important, because it could cause huge losses both for the developer and the client who are going to make use of it. Even though a developer cannot be charged (as long as he is not liable) for bugs that causes damage, but the reputation of the developer comes to stake.
In any organizations management would have to contend with any unavoidable changes that might take place. New machines, equipment, unstable business environment etc. can bring these changes. Successful implementation of the product therefore depends on the ability of the management to deal with the changes and resolve any emerging conflicts there from.
The main challenges in the manufacturing companies are in the following stage of product development.
