Providing a broad overview of Software Quality Assurance (SQA), this textbook emphasizes practical questions of SQA application, operation, organization, and control. Specific sections focus on topics like pre-project component, the project life cycle, infrastructure components, management components, standards and assessment, and organizational aspects of quality assurance. Intended for students, trainees, and professionals in software development and maintenance, the book covers the ISO 9000-3 requirements and a substantial portion of the knowledge required for the Certified Software Quality Engineer exam. Galin teaches information system studies at Ruppin Academic Center. Annotation (c) Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)

Software quality assurance (SQA) systems are vital for software developers in the software and the electronics industries as well as for information systems divisions in organizations. This book, based on many years of consulting and teaching experience, is designed to serve three audiences: students at universities and colleges, participants in vocational training courses in the industry and practitioners/professionals. Each chapter will conclude with commonly raised questions, problems, short case studies, and topics for discussion. The methodology to be presented in the book conforms with the requirements of ISO 9000 standards (ISO 9001 Quality Management and Quality Assurance Standard and of ISO 9000-3 Guidelines for the Application of ISO 9001 to the Development, Supply, Installation and Maintenance of Computer Software). The topics that will be covered will conform with the requirements of most vocational training programs (e.g.. the American Society for Quality's training program for Certified Software Quality Engineers). The book is designed to include in its appendices a collection of useful templates and checklists containing items of great interest to practitioners and students, and is accompanied by an Instructor's Solutions Manual and PowerPoint Slides.
