Innovation Group Global Solutions
Overview of SQA, Test case designing and Methodologies

2. What is quality?
Quality is the degree of conformance to explicit or implicit
requirements and expectations
Three import points for quality measurement:
•Use requirements as the foundation
•Use specified standards as the criteria – ISO 9001
• Considering implicit requirements
Quality concepts

3. •Customer Focus
•Leadership
•Engagement of people
•Process approach
•Improvement
•Evidence based decision making
•Relationship management
ISO 9001 – Quality Management Principles

4. Software quality assurance (SQA) is a process that ensures that developed
software meets and complies with defined or standardized quality
specifications
Other definitions of SQA:
• It is the concern of every QA engineer to reduce costs and improve
product time-to-market.
• It is an umbrella activity that is applied throughout the software process
• It is a quality management approach
• It is an effective software engineering technology
• It is a measurement and reporting mechanism

6. Testing is destructive in nature, it requires that the tester discard
preconceived notions of the correctness of the software to be tested

7. •Testing’s goal is not to identify as many bugs as possible
•It is to verify that the software meets the business requirements.
•Defect free software that does not actually deliver business value is just as
bad as software that crashes

9. • Process of evaluating steps which is
followed up to development phase
whether they meet the specified
requirements of that phase is
Verification
• Process of evaluating product during
or at the end of development process
whether the product meets the
specified requirements is Validation

10. A test case, in software engineering is a set of conditions under which a
tester will determine whether an application system or one of its features is
working as it was originally established for it to do.
Difference between a test case and test script?
Test case: Step by step instructional procedure on how to get to any end
result. It’s been run manually
Test Script: Commonly used to refer to the instructions for a particular test
that will be carried out by an automated test tool
