Building quality into products, processes and people
How to build quality at the source at three different levels of products, processes and people.
From Why Quality Engineering:
Quality engineering is more than testing earlier in the software life cycle. It's about looking at all the facets of software engineering. From delivering the product to the processes we use to build it and the people involved. It's about taking a holistic approach to quality and understanding how quality is created, maintained and lost throughout the software life cycle. It is then, using this insight, we build quality at the source.
In this post, I'd like to use an example of "how we build quality at the source" by focusing on three distinct areas of "products, processes and people" or 3Ps. To do so, I will use an example from my last post, Quality Engineering - How quality is created, maintained and lost, where I described a talk that I recently delivered called Speed vs. Quality - Can you have both? In this talk, I used a scenario where two hypothetical teams get stuck in the loop of working harder and working smarter.
I then detailed the techniques th…
