A major goal of analytical quality assurance (QA) activities, e.g., inspection and testing, is detecting defects in software artifacts to increase product quality and decrease rework effort and cost. Inspection aims at identifying defects early and traditional testing focuses on test case generation and execution late in the development process. Combining inspection and test-case generation to ...

Purpose Quality has undergone several transformations over the past decades. From inspection to total quality management (TQM), some tools have been created improve performance of industrial processes and services, such as control charts Pareto’s diagram. Now, fourth revolution (4th IR), Industry 4.0, become part routine organizations people. The purpose this paper is verify how traditional con...

Peer review is one of the essential activities in software quality assurance to remove defects at the early stages of development. Peer review can be performed to verify almost all software artifacts in every phase of the software development life cycle such as requirement, design, code and test. According to [Fagan, 1976], software inspection, the most formal structure of peer review, can remo...

Non-destructive quality inspection of fruits provides quality products for domestic consumption as well as for export markets, increasing consumer/buyer confidence. It provides assurance of quality and subsequent value addition. A major thrust of current research is towards the development of quality inspection systems for improved sorting and automated quality control. Machine Vision inspectio...

Manufacturing products with multiple quality characteristics is always one of the main concerns for an advanced manufacturing system. To assure product quality, finite automatic inspection systems should be available and employed. Inspection planning to allocate inspection stations should then be performed to manage limited inspection resources. Since product variety in batch production or job ...

The quality of many goods and services may change randomly between the time of shipment and delivery, creating disputes over quality that can result in lemons-market equilibria. We investigate the potential of third-party inspections for such inefficiencies. We consider two types of inspection, ex post verification of quality in consignment contracts and ex ante certification in FOB contracts, ...
