Week 7 (starting 26 Nov 2007)

In the last 2 weeks, we have looked into Software Qaulity Assurance (SQA) and Quality Control (QC). The common objective for both are the same - to identify defects as early as possible. However, the 2 are different in focus as highlighted below.

We have also mentioned that we will be focusing on 3 QC activities:

1. Review (we had done a simple review exercise during practical last week)
2. Testing (we focus on Black Box Testing Techniques : Equivalence Partitioning and Boundary Value Analysis)
3. Change Control (we have listed out the steps for a simple Change Control procedure)

The diagram below shows the steps of Change Control.

With that, we have concluded part I of this module (i.e. the general concepts of Software Engineering Practices).

In the next 2 weeks, we will look into Software Modelling using Unified Modelling Language (UML).
