Role of Software Quality Assurance in Capability Maturity Model Integration 

Abstract

With increasing demand for software products with high „Quality‟, it has become imperative for organizations to adopt quality models like (International Standard Organization) ISO 9001,(Capability Maturity Model Integration)CMMI or Six Sigma etc. to set and sail on their quality journey. The strong emphasis on Software Quality Assurance in these models coupled with the modern day mantra of “Prevention”, the need for pro-active Quality Assurance is higher than ever.Software Quality Assurance (SQA) is a planned and systematic approach necessary to provide adequate confidence that an item or product conforms to established standards, procedures, and policies. This paper addresses the role of Software Quality Assurance practices in the organization to assure “Quality” of Software Product Development. As the organizations grow and change, the needs and roles also change. Depending on the type of product and organization itself, the life cycles may differ and the tasks done by the quality organization evolve. The evolution takes familiar tracks, following patterns based upon the maturity of the organization and other factors. The Software Engineering Institute(SEI) Maturity Model and other standards are relevant in understanding the importance and roles for the quality group. Capability Maturity Model Integration (CMMI) is a process improvement approach to software development. This paper describes the importance of SQA for any organization growth.
