QUALITY ASSESSMENT PROCESS DEFINITION

Link to Table of Contents: tablel.doc

Description:

This document defines the process of assessing the quality of the organization’s software

development process. The purpose of this assessment is to review and evaluate the execution of

an ongoing, software development process in order to verify that it is carried out according to the

Project Management Process Definition (with its supporting documents) and that this Definition

is adequate to provide the required degree of product quality. Thus, objectives of this process

are, primarily, to discover ways to improve the Definition itself for subsequent projects, and,

secondarily, to provide management with recommendations on ways to modify the conduct of

the project in order to maintain conformance with the Definition.

Entry Conditions:

1) The Project Management Process has produced a Software Development Process Plan.

Input Summary:

1) Software Development Process Plan organized according to the project model.

2) Project Schedule Plan from the Project Scheduling Process.

3) Project Tracking Plan from the Project Management Process.

4) Project Quality Assessment Plan.

5) Project Quality Assessment Plan with data collection scheduled according to the Project

Schedule Plan.

6) Monitor Data Definition Document.

7) Monitor Data History Archive.

8) Data and reports reflecting project performance and product quality from the software

development, tracking and scheduling process.

Implementation Conditions:

1) The organization’s management appoints a Process Quality Assessment Board that does not

include members of the acceptance testing and software project teams (including their direct

management).

2) Create a Project Quality Assessment Plan (or use an existing one) that is correlated with the

specific phrases in the Software Development Process Plan and the Project Scheduling and

Tracking processes according to the following conditions:

2.1) It is recommended that this Plan have the form shown in the Project Quality Assessment

Plan document.

2.2) It is essential that the Project Quality Assessment Plan contain an approved Process

Quality Assessment Plan for the Project Scheduling and Tracking Processes and for each

sub process listed in the Software Development Process Plan.

2.3) It is essential that each of these Process Quality Assessment Plans describe in detail the

quality assessment and reporting activities to be carried out by the Process Quality

Assessment Board and the software project staff during the lift of the corresponding

process.

2.4) It is essential that each of these Process Quality Assessment Plans require a written

Quality Assessment Report.

2.5) It is recommended that the content of each Process Quality Assessment Report provide

criteria for assessing the items listed in the Process Quality Report Content form.

3) Inform the Project Scheduling team about the Project Quality Assessment Plan so that it can

schedule the data collection activities the Plan requires. This produces a scheduled version of

the Project Quality Assessment Plan.

4) Schedule the activities of the Process Quality Assessment Board in conformity to the

scheduled version of the Project Quality Assessment Plan received from the Project

Scheduling Process. Inform the Project Scheduling and Tracking teams of the Board’s

schedule.

It is essential that the Process Quality Assessment Board perform the following activities:

1) Carry out the steps in the Process Quality Assessment Plan, making use of the data in the

Monitor Data History Archive.

2) Analyze the managerial structure that influences the quality of the software for

appropriateness and proper function and ascertain to whether or not the positions within the

structure have clearly defined tasks and responsibilities.

3) Monitor adherence to all standards and practices and communicate with the project

management its observations about the degree of adherence. This requires evaluating the

artifacts produced during the project.

4) Examine project review and audit procedures to determine their adequacy and ascertain the

extent to which the project adheres to them.

5) Revise all plans, procedures, cases and reports relating to testing (unit, integration, system

and acceptance) to determine their adequacy and the project’s adherence to them.

6) Review the change-handling procedures for adequacy and monitor the project for compliance

to them. “Adequacy” here means that change orders are tracked from initiation to completion

and that the causes of problems giving rise to changes are eliminated.

7) Review the methods and facilities used to maintain, store, secure and register controlled

versions of artifacts (e.g. software) to determine whether or net they are adequate and are

employed correctly

8) Check software acquires from external suppliers against project standards and determine to

what extent each subcontractor adheres to a documented software engineering process that

meets the standards required by the organization’s Software Engineering Process.

9) Determine to what extent all project staff have the necessary skills for the positions to which

they are assigned. Recommend to the project management the training necessary for the staff

to achieve this in case of deficiencies.

10) Record in the Monitor Data History Archive the information required by the Monitor Data

Definition Document concerning the Board’s activities.

11) Submit its final report and terminate its work only when all of the required post- delivery

reviews have been completed and evaluated.

It is recommended that the Process Quality Assessment Board:

1) Monitor the execution of the change-control activities of the project and examine trends in the

occurrence of problems.

2) Evaluate the appropriateness of the methods, tools and techniques employed in the project

and monitor their correct application throughout the project.

3) Monitor the risk assessment and management activities of the project and advise the project

management on appropriate methods for carrying out these activities.

Output Summary:

1) Project Quality Assessment Plan correlated with the Software Development Plan and the

Project Schedule Plan.

2) Quality Assessment Reports.

3) Updated Monitor Data History Archive.

Exit Conditions:

All reports of the Process Quality Assessment Board have been submitted to the software

development team management and the data required by the Monitor Data Definition Document

has been recorded in the organization’s Monitor Data History Archive.

Notes: None.
