Abstract

Software quality management (SQM) must effectively deploy resources for quality assurance activities to reflect the achieved product quality. So, quality managers should exploit their creative freedom to direct their courses of action within the economic constraints. Effective Quality Management can increase SQM effectiveness. This value- and risk-based method is applicable for software developers, their customers, and users. This is due to its product function orientation and the independence of the software development procedures.
