Quality Assurance is a proactive, process-oriented approach focused on preventing defects by improving development and testing processes. It involves activities like process definition, audits, and training. Quality Control is a reactive, product-oriented approach focused on identifying defects in the finished product through activities like inspection and testing. QA is about building the system correctly; QC is about verifying the built system is correct.
Key principles include: Testing shows the presence of defects, not their absence; Exhaustive testing is impossible; Early testing saves time and cost; Defects tend to cluster (Pareto principle); The pesticide paradox (tests need updating); Testing is context-dependent; and the absence-of-errors fallacy (a bug-free system may still be unusable). These principles form the theoretical foundation for effective evaluation methods.
Modern software QA frameworks are deeply influenced by manufacturing quality movements. Concepts from Walter Shewhart's statistical process control (SPC) evolved into plan-do-check-act (PDCA) cycles. W. Edwards Deming's 14 Points and Joseph Juran's quality trilogy (planning, control, improvement) shifted focus from final inspection to integrated process management. These ideas underpin contemporary methodologies like Total Quality Management (TQM) and Continuous Improvement in Agile and DevOps contexts.
A testing framework is a set of guidelines, tools, and libraries that provide structure for designing and executing tests (e.g., Selenium, JUnit, Cypress). It offers technical scaffolding. A testing methodology is a higher-level strategic approach or philosophy that defines the what, when, and why of testing activities (e.g., V-Model, Agile Testing, Exploratory Testing). Methodologies guide the overall process, while frameworks support the implementation of specific tests within that process.
System reliability evaluation involves both qualitative and quantitative methods. Qualitatively, it assesses architecture robustness, fault tolerance, and failure mode analysis. Quantitatively, it uses metrics like Mean Time Between Failures (MTBF), Mean Time To Failure (MTTF), and Mean Time To Repair (MTTR). Reliability models, such as fault tree analysis or Markov chains, are applied. The evaluation must consider the operational profile and environmental factors to predict system behavior under expected and stress conditions.
