What You Do Not Know About Software Quality

We all want the software in the devices we use to be top quality. However, have you considered what is meant by Software Quality? It is very difficult to articulate a set of criteria that summarises a comprehensive quality metric and software quality is a multidimensional quantity which can be measured in many ways.In this introductory article, Adam Mackay will explore what determines software quality.

The Pursuit of Perfection – An effective embedded unit test process for efficient testing

In software engineering, we test primarily to diminish risks. Errors are costly, and testing serves as a safety net for the full software system.

However, it is not the only purpose of testing. We can also do testing for understanding, just as software engineers should do when writing a program. And racing drivers do when learning a new track or car.

The parallels between racing and software development may not be immediately evident. However, both require the design and implementation of solid processes to secure success.

This article introduces methods, techniques, and tools to ensure clarity of thinking and implementation during development of project processes.
