Many of the early quality models have followed a hierarchical approach in which a set of factors that affect quality are defined, with little scope for expansion. More recent models have been developed that follow a 'Define your own' approach with locally tailored factors. The aim of this study is to present a new model to software quality assurance which addresses the problems of theses approa...

Nowadays, software organisations need to develop excellent and reliable products. This scenario has helped to increase the relevance of quality assurance activities, especially the testing discipline. However, sometimes the time and resources are limited and not all tests can be executed, demanding organisations to decide what use cases should be tested, to guarantee the predictability of the p...

Defect prediction is relatively a new research area of software quality assurance. A project team always aims to produce a quality product with zero or few defects. Quality of a product is correlated with the number of defects as well as it is limited by time and by money. So, defect prediction is very important in the field of software quality and software reliability. This paper gives you a v...

BACKGROUND The importance of quality assurance in the software development process cannot be overemphasized because its adoption results in high reliability and easy maintenance of the software system and other software products. Software quality assurance includes different activities such as quality control, quality management, quality standards, quality planning, process standardization and ...

molecular diagnostic methods have played and continuing to have a critical role in clinical laboratories in recent years. therefore, standardization is an evolutionary process that needs to be upgrade with increasing scientific knowledge, improvement of the instruments and techniques. the aim of this study was to design a quality assurance program in order to have similar conditions for all med...

this article elaborates on the experience of higher medical education evaluation in iran. although institutional evaluation in iran started in about a decade ago, recent policies of the government to increase quality of higher medical education have contributed to a special effort in designing and implementing evaluation mechanisms in university systems in iran. among these a process of interna...

background and objective: quality control is one of the most important components in order to improve quality assurance in laboratories during analytical steps. for this purpose, coefficient of variation plays an important role. due to the fast improvement in technology, application of inferential statistics for the comparisons of laboratory techniques, including instrument and chemicals and fa...

background: electronic portal imaging devices (epids) play an important role in radiation therapy portal imaging, geometric and dosimetric verifications. a successful utilization of epids for imaging and dosimetric purposes requires a reliable quality control process routine to be carried out regularly. in this study, two in-house phantoms were developed and analyzed for implementation in a qua...
