Guaranteed Quality: Your Guide to Flawless Software Development

There’s nothing worse than developing expensive software or mobile applications, only to struggle with errors, bugs, and other issues that should have been caught well before the release. Since there are millions of apps, including from among your competitors, 100% quality assurance is mandatory.

This article will introduce the concept of software quality management, and offer a few ways to make the process run smoother.

Software Quality Management – Defined

We would define software quality management as the procedural process that guides custom software development from beginning to finish. This occurs by emphasizing three essential elements: 1) Quality Assurance, 2) Quality Control, and 3) Software Testing.

The Quality Assurance aspect involves following a process with specific steps and itinerary, usually grounded in certain “standards” or quality metrics. The Quality Control element focuses on evaluating the finished product (i.e., new software program), whereas Software Testing scrutinizes the technical issues, making sure it runs properly. While this a somewhat broad explanation, we’d like to further elaborate on this with these tips for improving software quality.

Tips for Ensuring Better Software Development Quality

1. Test Early and Often – The testing “phase” isn’t really something you would relegate to the end of the process. Smart software engineers know they stand a much better chance if they run tests (with QA personnel) earlier, making it easier to address weaknesses sooner.
2. Check Every Platform & Device – You may decide to launch a software or mobile application with just one platform or operating system, or several. If it’s the latter, then you’ll want to set up your QA checks for all relevant platforms (again, don’t wait until the end of the project). Don’t forget that this encompasses the distinction between Android and iOS along with other platforms such as desktop computers and tablets.
3. Continuous Integration – This is a practice that ensures quality through a step-by-step method for everything from code-writing and product testing to code review and full deployment.
4. Practice Good Communication – In 2024, there’s almost always a team of individuals, internal and external, who should communicate well to guarantee software success. Who would this include? Software quality management comprises business ownership, designers, developers, QA checkers, testers, and all other significant stakeholders.
