Software Quality Engineering CS449-A Assignment# 01 Name: Roll No. Areeb Arshad 181400149 Submitted Date: June 23rd, 2021 Q1. What are the latest research topics in the field of SQA? Some Topics: 1. Defect Prediction: This topic describe, how and where we can make prediction to find out the software future defects. It gives us a brief overview of software defect prediction and its components. It also tell us about the challenges while software defect prediction (SDP). It highlights current trends and also about some game changers that had impact on SDP. From this, we can predict future defect that saves our long term time while software development. In result, we can achieve software quality. 2. State of the art in Software Quality Assurance: The authors present a summary of their understanding of the publications that appeared in the computing literature that covers some aspects of software quality assurance. It includes eight sub-topics that includes quality models, timely QA feedback, design level QA, etc. 3. Software inspection and software testing techniques: Software inspection and software testing is very important to achieve software quality. As with the passage of time, the complexity of the software is increasing, the testing and inspection is also getting complex. Due to this complexities, software have a lot of errors. We should apply different testing and inspection techniques like unit testing, system testing, acceptance testing, and usability testing etc. to make sure the quality of software. 4. Quality and time pressure: This topic will cover how we achieve Software quality under the time pressure of deliverables. Some developers use shortcuts to make it on time. Even project managers do shortcuts to lessen the risk of deadline. It explains the formal relationship between deadline setting policy and software quality product. 5. Importance of Software Metrics in SQA: Software matrices provide us quantitative analysis for software development. From these matrices we can improved software quality. Software Quality Assurance is depends on these matrices. And this need a connection between software quality models and software matrices. From this quality factor we can measure method for software quality assurance. Research Papers References: 1.
