Quality can be improved by either Preventive or Corrective actions taken to control the outcome of a project / product development process.

After 20+ years working for both large multi-national and small companies across several industries, I have become intensely aware of how business goals and objectives drive the many dimensions of measuring business value and quality. The nature of the end product/application will dramatically affect how quality is defined and therefore as testers, one’s approach and understanding of how to relate and articulate this will be instrumental in ensuring results have accurately validated attainment.Tue, 14 Jun 2011 00:00:00 -0600http://www.softwaretestpro.com/Item/5159/How-the-Live-Online-Summit-Works/Software-Test-Professionals-Conference-Testing-Automation-Membership-Software-Metrics-Agilehttp://www.softwaretestpro.com/Item/5159/How-the-Live-Online-Summit-Works/Software-Test-Professionals-Conference-Testing-Automation-Membership-Software-Metrics-Agileacaracostas@redwoodco.comSoftware Test Professionals ConferenceTestingAutomationMembershipSoftwareMetricsAgileWed, 08 Jun 2011 09:00:00 -0600http://www.softwaretestpro.com/Item/5160/STP-Online-Summit-Frequently-Asked-Questions/Software-Test-Professionals-Conference-Testing-Automation-Membership-Software-Web-Metrics-Agilehttp://www.softwaretestpro.com/Item/5160/STP-Online-Summit-Frequently-Asked-Questions/Software-Test-Professionals-Conference-Testing-Automation-Membership-Software-Web-Metrics-Agileacaracostas@redwoodco.comSoftware Test Professionals ConferenceTestingAutomationMembershipSoftwareWebMetricsAgileWed, 08 Jun 2011 09:00:00 -0600http://www.softwaretestpro.com/Item/5158/Testing-Metrics-Project-Process-and-Product/Metrics-Testing-Processhttp://www.softwaretestpro.com/Item/5158/Testing-Metrics-Project-Process-and-Product/Metrics-Testing-Processrex_black@rbcs-us.comMetricsTestingProcessPreviously recorded on May 26, 2011 Thu, 02 Jun 2011 10:00:00 -0600http://www.softwaretestpro.com/Item/5105/The-Testing-Story/Testing-Software-Management-Metricshttp://www.softwaretestpro.com/Item/5105/The-Testing-Story/Testing-Software-Management-Metricsshillu13@gmail.comTestingSoftwareManagementMetricsGive me some numbers. How much testing remains? Where are we today with testing? Give me metrics. If you are a tester or a test lead, you may be asked these questions on a regular basis. The key in answering these questions lies in tracking test metrics and telling the test story. It’s every tester’s job to bring the ‘test story’ to the project team or management. The test story is about building trust and has three components – test progress, test trend, and quality. Metrics from these three components can be used to tell your test story.Tue, 29 Mar 2011 10:00:00 -0600http://www.softwaretestpro.com/Item/4939/DaVita-a-Quality-Culture-Focused-on-Flawless-Execution/STQA-Magazine-Teams-Metrics-Life-Cycle-Development-Process-Software-Testing-Training-Toolshttp://www.softwaretestpro.com/Item/4939/DaVita-a-Quality-Culture-Focused-on-Flawless-Execution/STQA-Magazine-Teams-Metrics-Life-Cycle-Development-Process-Software-Testing-Training-Toolscorymedlin@gmail.comST&QA MagazineTeamsMetricsLife CycleDevelopmentProcessSoftwareTestingTrainingToolsDaVita is a unique place to work. The word DaVita means “giving life,” and when asked what our teammates (employees) do for a living, each is proud to respond with a simple answer: “I give life.” Providing dialysis treatments to one in three Americans with kidney failure only scratches the surface of what we do. We are a community first and a company second, and while we promote a healthy balance of work and life, we also expect the highest level of performance in everything we do. We believe the work that each of our teammates does directly affect the lives of our chronically ill patients – and that includes our IT team.Mon, 11 Oct 2010 00:00:00 -0600http://www.softwaretestpro.com/Item/4935/Twist-14---With-Mark-Vasko-and-Alex-Kell/Software-Test-and-QA-Interviews-Metrics-Load-podcasthttp://www.softwaretestpro.com/Item/4935/Twist-14---With-Mark-Vasko-and-Alex-Kell/Software-Test-and-QA-Interviews-Metrics-Load-podcastmatt.heusser@gmail.comSoftwareTest and QAInterviewsMetricsLoadpodcastIn this episode Matt Heusser Interviews Mark Vasko on Corporate IT, Metrics Programs, and Building trust with StakeholdersFri, 01 Oct 2010 08:01:00 -0600http://www.softwaretestpro.com/Item/4902/How-Dynamic-Memory-Allocations-Can-Affect-Performance/Best-Practices-Development-How-To-Metrics-Performance-Quality-Assurance-Software-Processhttp://www.softwaretestpro.com/Item/4902/How-Dynamic-Memory-Allocations-Can-Affect-Performance/Best-Practices-Development-How-To-Metrics-Performance-Quality-Assurance-Software-Processclaire.cates@sas.comBest PracticesDevelopmentHow ToMetricsPerformanceQuality AssuranceSoftwareProcessThis article will explain how dynamic memory allocations and frees can affect application performance.
