Features: The issue of software quality management is becoming increasingly prominent. How to ensure that the developed software system meets user requirements and is completed within the expected cost and schedule has become a significant concern in the software industry. In fact, software quality management cannot be achieved overnight solely through standards. Traditional industrial quality management has undergone nearly a century of development, evolving from product inspection-based management methods to today's process management-centered total quality management philosophy, which has led to the formation of quality management standards represented by ISO9000. This book explores the issue of software quality management from three levels: standards, technology, and practice. It not only provides a detailed analysis and elaboration of quality management models and standards such as CMM and ISO9000 but also, more importantly, introduces the application of these standards and models in software organizations, as well as the theory, methods, technology, and practice of quality management. This book is suitable for senior managers, quality engineers, and software engineers in software organizations, and can also be used as supplementary teaching material for university and graduate courses on software engineering.
