OST Quality Assurance Program

1.1 Quality Control Solution

Fig 1: OST's Quality Control Solution Proccess

OST's quality control (QC) solution is: (1) based on CMMI (the industry best practice in systems and software engineering); (2) mandatory, as our standards must always be adhered to and this is ensured by our corporate Quality Assurance (QA) Analyst; and (3) tool based - using our process asset library, best practice library, and measurement repositories are used extensively. The major steps in our QC Solution process are shown in Figure 1. Every TO develops a Quality Assurance Plan (QAP). Each QAP is tailored for the specific needs and constraints of each TO . Some of the aspects covered in the plan are the major activities, deliverables, schedule, and stakeholders included in the QA reporting chain. The products and processes that will be reviewed are also identified in the QAP. A QA analyst or subject matter expert (SME) conducts these reviews and logs all issues found. The QA analyst is responsible for communicating all issues and handling all corrective actions under the guidance and supervision of the EAGLE PM or TOM.
