QA / QC Engineers - What are They Doing for You? by Marc Keller
Quality assurance and quality control are essential components of every company that produces software applications. Quality assurance (QA) or quality control (QC) engineers are the resources that maintain the quality level of a company and its products. ... Another practice is to start software testing at the same moment the project starts and it is a continuous process until the project finishes. ... A fault can also turn into a failure when the software is ported to a different hardware platform, or if the software gets extended.

Preliminary Analysis In Software Engineering by Abbas Ali
The main objectives of preliminary analysis is to identify the customer's needs, evaluate system concept for feasibility, perform economic and technical analysis, perform cost benefit analysis and create system definition that forms the foundation for all subsequent engineering works. ... For large project, there can be an analysis team. ... After the preliminary analysis, the analyst should report the findings to management, with recommendations outlining the acceptance or rejection of the proposal.

Software Testing: Part 2 by Prakash Chakkunny
Classic Testing Misconceptions and Mistakes Let's take a look at some of the common mistakes or misconceptions that actually reflect on a Testers quality, his efficiency and effectiveness. A couple of assumptions that are the key culprits, are the assumptions that all defects in the software... The tester should have a natural hyper-sensitivity to trivial things, He should possess software engineering skills (understanding the rules of software engineering, knowing computer programming and having operating system level knowledge).

On-Demand Workforce Management Software Development Life-Cycles by Akash Dave

Causes Of Software Project Failure by Muhammad Saqib
Most software projects fail completely or partial failures because a small number of projects meet all their requirements. These requirements can be the cost, schedule, quality, or requirements objectives. According to many studies, failure rate of software projects is between 50% - 80%. ... Risk Management Risk management is an important factor towards software project failure if it’s not managed timely and effectively. ... It is quite usual in software development process to work backward from the project end date which results in complete software project failure.
