Método de aseguramiento de la calidad en una metodología de desarrollo de software: Un enfoque práctico

Abstract

Software Quality Assurance (SQA) is a set of methods, tools and techniques that allows managing the quality in the development of a software product. In spite of a fundamental element in developing a project, not all companies apply due to budget matter, lack of staff or more complex standards adaptations. This article, presents a practical approach as a strategic guide, to manage the quality in the development of a software project. For this, a method of SQA is presented that consists of three components: The Essence, which seeks that work team understands the concept of quality; which is not only reflected in activities or tasks, but also in the way the team works. Tools, whose purpose is to control the quality in the software project. Finally, the Metrics used not only to measure the results obtained, but also to improve internal processes. The Method was applied in a case study, for the development of a web application, helping to better control the changes and future risks that could occur in the development of the project, providing a more secure way of working. Although the method facilitated meeting customer needs, it has not been tested in larger workpieces. In addition, the collection of metrics is long-term, which for this case study, could not be proven.
