SQA Implementation Capability

Implementation Capability – The general coding behavior of the developers is also gauged by the SQA team. The metrics used in this classification is based on the SDLC used by the developers. The SQA team will rate the developer’s ability to finish each action in the stage of the SDLC on time.

The staff hours are rated according to the need of the stage. Each phase of the SDLC will have their time requirement – some will just need a day or two while others will require a month to finish. The time required in every stage is set by the project manager.

Aside from the time required for completion, the developers are also rated if they ever finish a task at all. There are tasks that are necessary for the application to run while there are tasks that could be offset by another task. Although that’s a convenience, it will actually trigger a domino effect so the whole operation could be placed in jeopardy.

Software Efficiency – Last but maybe the most important is to ensure that the application do not have any errors at all. This is basically a major pillar to any application. Without errors, the software will never give any hackers a chance to infiltrate the system. Usually, the SQA team will develop test cases wherein the error is highlighted. The developers are then rated how fast they could locate the root of the problem and how fast they could built a fix to the problem.

These are the metrics that every software developer will have to go through. The better the rating, the better the application would work.

Selecting the Right Quality Model

There are so many quality models to choose from. Each of them has their own advantage and disadvantages. It is up to the SQA team to select which application that will give the clients a good idea how the application works.
In order to select a good Quality Model is no trick actually. Every application developed has a “core” or a feature that differentiates the application from other software.

The SQA team should just focus on that feature and look for the quality model that can fully gauge the feature. It is a very simple idea but will do wonders especially when the SQA team is trying to prove the validity of the application against the feature needed by the clients.

The only disadvantage of this technique is that the developers might be focusing too much in the feature. However, all of the Quality Models could easily gauge every aspect of the application. That means every SQA team can easily gauge the software without any problem.

Finding errors in the application is a great challenge to the SQA team. But with the right tools the software could be easily gauged and the application will work as expected.
