Operational characteristics:

  • Correctness – does it do what I want?
  • Efficiency – will it run at a desirable speed on my hardware to achieve the business objective?
  • Reliability – does it do it accurately under different conditions over a period of time?
  • Usability – is it designed for the end user?

Product revision

  • Portability – will I be able to use it on another machine?
  • Reusability – will I be able to reuse some of the software?
  • Interoperability – will I be able to interface it with another system?

The main objective of software quality assurance is to control the products, processes and procedures used to produce and sustain the software conform to all software requirements and standards specified to govern those products, processes and procedures. A secondary objective of software quality assurance is to ensure that the software-intensive systems we develop are more secure.

Software quality assurance constitutes administrative and procedural activities enforced in a software quality system so that requirements and goals for a product, service or activity will be fulfilled. It is the systematic measurement, monitoring of processes, comparison with a standard and an associated feedback loop that confers error prevention. This can be contrasted with quality control, which is focused on process output.

Two principles included in software quality assurance are: “Fit for purpose” (the product should be desirable for the aimed purpose); and “right first time” (errors should be eliminated)

Desirable quality is determined by product end-users or customers. It is not linked to cost, and descriptors or adjectives such as “poor” and “high” are not applicable. For example, a product having low priced may be viewed as having high quality because it is disposable, whereas another product may be viewed as having poor quality because it is not disposable.

Mobile Application Testing

Mobile Application Testing is a process by which software application developed for mobile devices is tested for its functionality, usability and consistency. Mobile application testing can be automated or manual type of testing.

Erroneous operation of the mobile application (iPhone apps, blackberry apps, android apps,) which is the backbone of a business could result in enormous loss of time & productivity along with user frustration, as have a significant financial impact. The quality and reliability of mobile applications being developed, is now becoming the absolute key consideration for majority of the businesses
