In this ever-changing business scenario, the manufacturing product industries have to be in position to rec-ognize the ever changing pulse and demands of the market. Customer satisfaction and quality management has become a strategic issue for companies in the new millennium. Quality Function Deployment (QFD) lit-erature suggests that building up the House of Quality (HoQ) is not a difficult ta...

This chapter is aimed at comprehensively analyzing and defining agile methodologies of software development from a software quality assurance perspective. A unique way of analyzing agile methodologies to reveal the similarities that the authors of the methods never tell you is introduced. The chapter starts by defining agile methodologies from three perspectives: a theoretical definition, a fun...

Review, process audit, and testing are three main Quality Assurance activities during the software development life cycle. They complement each other to examine work products for defects and improvement opportunities to the largest extent. Understanding the effort distribution and inter-correlation among them will facilitate software organization project planning, improve the software quality w...

Often in software development processes, tighter and more systematic integration of quality assurance techniques and measurements in the operational processes is desirable. While some processes specify abstract quality assurance measures, concrete requisite measures directly relevant for specific product artifacts (e.g., code) or processes (e.g., testing) must be determined operationally and co...

ecological destruction in human-dominated landscapes has significant impacts on environment sustainability internationally. landscape planning can play a role in mitigating the effects of human-related activities. one element of landscape planning involves the analysis of the biological, spatial and social arrangement of areas in an urban environment and identifying characteristics that are und...

Software development is an expanding activity. Responding to its needs efficiently, with quality and low cost demands an intense learning, to prevent the repetition of the same mistake twice. One way to meet this goal consists of capturing organization’s knowledge and makes it available to all their members through the use of knowledge management systems. In this paper, we discuss the importanc...
