Then find your goals...

STEP 2: Set concrete goals, tasks, dates and numbers you can track

Featuring 999 new and updated case-based questions, organized into seven core areas of process design, this Self-Assessment will help you identify areas in which Software QA improvements can be made.

Examples; 10 of the 999 standard requirements:


1. Is the level of autonomy your team is given linked to the level of maturity the team has with software quality analysis and managing technical debt?
   
   

2. What is the flow of information in software testing, and how does a test results database support decision making in software development processes?
   
   

3. Have you participated in selecting COTS software components that where later adapted or integrated into your project/system?
   
   

4. How do engineers know if performance degradation may be due to malicious software running concurrently on a cloud instance?
   
   

5. Does your organization have a projected timeline from contract signing to go live that it is planning for currently?
   
   

6. Are software quality improvement methods documented and regulated per corrective and preventive actions processes?
   
   

7. Does a process exist for evaluating if the reported problem or issue is a software defect, error, or other source?
   
   

8. What is the person time required for each review step, and what are the timelines to complete systematic reviews?
   
   

9. Do social determinants of health documented in clinical notes improve hospital prediction in home healthcare?
   
   

10. Have the expected level of change in the system and the time required to implement changes been considered?

Results

With this Three Step process you will have all the tools you need for any Software QA project with this in-depth Software QA Toolkit.

In using the Toolkit you will be better able to:


• Diagnose Software QA projects, initiatives, organizations, businesses and processes using accepted diagnostic standards and practices

• Implement evidence-based best practice strategies aligned with overall goals

• Integrate recent advances in Software QA and put process design strategies into practice according to best practice guidelines


Defining, designing, creating, and implementing a process to solve a business challenge or meet a business objective is the most valuable role; In EVERY company, organization and department.

Unless you are talking a one-time, single-use project within a business, there should be a process. Whether that process is managed and implemented by humans, AI, or a combination of the two, it needs to be designed by someone with a complex enough perspective to ask the right questions. Someone capable of asking the right questions and step back and say, 'What are we really trying to accomplish here? And is there a different way to look at it?'

This Toolkit empowers people to do just that - whether their title is entrepreneur, manager, consultant, (Vice-)President, CxO etc... - they are the people who rule the future. They are the person who asks the right questions to make Software QA investments work better.

This Software QA All-Inclusive Toolkit enables You to be that person.
