UNIT IV SOFTWARE QUALITY MODELS
Software quality –Verification versus Validation– Components of Quality Assurance – SQA Plan – Quality Standards – CMM – PCMM – CMMI – Malcolm Baldrige National Quality Award
UNIT V QUALITY THROUGH CONTINUOUS IMPROVEMENT PROCESS
Role of Statistical Methods in Software Quality – Transforming Requirements into Test Cases – Deming’s Quality Principles – Continuous Improvement through Plan Do Check Act (PDCA)
List of Experiments
1. Perform data flow testing for any C program to verify the def-use variables (Ex: largest of two numbers)
2. Using Selenium IDE, Write a test suite containing minimum 4 test cases for any simple C program (Ex: To check Adam Number)
3. Write and test a program to update 10 student records into tables into Excel file. (Selenium)
4. Write and test a program to select the number of students who have scored more than 60 in any one subject ( or all subjects). (Selenium)
5. Write and test a program to login to a specific web page. (Selenium)
6. Write and test a program to provide a total number of objects present / available on the page. (Selenium)
7. Write and test a program to get the number of list items in a list / combo box. (Selenium)
8. Identify system specification and design test cases to test any application using any one of a testing tool (Selenium/Bugzilla/Test Director)
9. Automate the test cases of the above system using any test automation tool (Bugzilla /QA Complete)
10. Design test cases for web pages to test any web sites (Web Performance Analyzer/Open STA)
