Quality doesn’t happen by accident. It is an intentional process. So how do you obtain quality software?

Using Software Engineering Methods – you need to have a reasonably complete understanding of the problem as well as a comprehensive design to be able to solve that problem.

A project manager must use good project management skills to estimate completion, schedule dependencies, and use risk management to ensure backup plans will work for the system.

You should use quality control and assurance to verify your models and make sure the infrastructure is in place to solve the problems.

Within the context of the software development, the terms defect and fault are synonymous. Both imply a problem that is discovered after the software has been released to end users. The book makes a distinction between error – a problem found before being released to the end user and defect or fault. However, in the real world,…

Introduction to Software Engineering

Software Engineering isn’t an “Advanced form of Programming”. Rather it is the idea and processes of how to properly design, develop, and deliver a software product. Without proper guidelines and processes, software project can be delivered late, without all the features, over cost, or a combination of those options. Software is found everywhere in our…
