With the expansion of higher education across the globe in response to the creation of knowledge economies and learning societies, governments have become increasingly interested in ensuring value for money from their investments. In determining their comparative economic advantage, nation states have increasingly focused on the ̳quality‘ of their education provision and knowledge production. Q...

STUDY OBJECTIVE In 1998, the International Breast Cancer Screening Network (IBSN) sponsored an assessment of quality assurance policies and practices to define their scope for population-based screening mammography programmes across IBSN countries. DESIGN Analysis of data from a survey designed to assess multiple elements of screening programme quality assurance, including organisation of qua...

Validation of software requirements is a primary phase in engineering that ensures match the target system with intended needs acquirer. It aims to detect and correct errors prevail specified requirements. Although there are tremendous validation approaches, some may fail because limited or ineffective techniques unreliable requirements’ quality characteristics. In this study, systematic litera...

Software Requirements Specifications (SRS) or software requirements are basically an organization’s interpretation of a customer’s system requirements and dependencies at a given point in time. Basically, good quality SRS will lead to good quality software product. It is widely known that companies pay much less to fix problems or defects that are found very early in any software development li...

In digital preservation, a common approach for preservation actions is the migration to standardized formats. Full validation of the results of such conversion processes is required to ensure authenticity and trust. This process of quality assurance is a key obstacle to achieving scalability for large volumes of content. In this article, we address the quality assurance process for the preserva...

The premise of this paper is that pilot case studies in security requirements engineering provide both benefits and challenges to the underlying research, education, and technology transition effort. Over the past four years we have worked with seven development groups in five organizations in the process of refining and transitioning the Security Quality Requirements Engineering (SQUARE) and S...

Quality is an important factor in software industry. Software quality depends upon the customer satisfaction which can be achieved through applying standards. In this era achieving quality software is very important because of the high customer demands. Developed countries are excelling in software industry and improving day by day. Meanwhile developing countries like Pakistan are struggling wi...

Quality assurance implies making certain, guaranteeing the attainment of quality. Do laboratories actually guarantee the quality of testing services today? If not, what is the purpose of quality assurance plans, programs, and practices? Have laboratories even defined the quality to be achieved for each test? If not, how can quality be guaranteed? Do current efforts in assessing quality provide ...

Verification and Validation (V&V) is a series of activities ,technical and managerial ,which performed by system tester not the system developer in order to improve the system quality ,system reliability and assure that product satisfies the users operational needs. Verification is the assurance that the products of a particular development phase are consistent with the requirements of that pha...

Modern society could hardly function without the largescale, network-centric information systems that pervade government, defense, and industry. These systems exhibit shifting boundaries, often-unknown component behavior, constantly varying function and usage, and pervasive asynchronous operations. Their complexity challenges intellectual control, and their survivability has become an urgent pr...
