Software Quality Assurance (SQA) is defined as a planned and systematic approach to the evaluation of the quality of and adherence to software product standards, processes, and procedures. SQA includes the process of assuring that standards and procedures are established and are followed throughout the software acquisition life cycle. Compliance with agreed-upon standards and procedures is evaluated through process monitoring, product evaluation, and audits.

Our software development and control processes include quality assurance approval points, where an SQA evaluation of the product may be done in relation to the applicable standards. Establishing standards and procedures for software development is critical, since these provide the framework from which the software evolves. We ensure highest standards and procedures for software development. We maintain documentation Standards that specify form and content for planning, control, and product documentation and provide consistency throughout a project.

Product evaluation and process monitoring are the SQA activities that assure the software development and control processes described in the project's Management Plan are correctly carried out and that the project's procedures and standards are followed. Products are monitored for conformance to standards and processes are monitored for conformance to procedures. Audits are a key technique used to perform product evaluation and process monitoring. We review of the Management Plan that ensures appropriate SQA approval points which we built into these processes. Product evaluation is also an SQA activity that assures standards are being followed. Ideally, the first products monitored by SQA will be our project's standards and procedures. Our SQA assures that clear and achievable standards exist and then evaluates compliance of the software product to the established standards. Our product evaluation assures that the software product reflects the requirements of the applicable standard(s) as identified in the Management Plan. Process monitoring is an SQA activity that ensures that appropriate steps to carry out the process are being followed.
