Feasibility study

In the preliminary study phase, quality will depend on the studies that are conducted in order to clearly state the objectives of the projects and also provide a clear assessment of the customer expectations. A quality control plan should also make sure that the solution that is being provided is coherent with the overall aspect of the project- whether it is the preliminary study or at the definition of the requirements.

Implementation

The quality control at this stage consists of the verification of the methodology used and on the other hand to make sure that everything is done as per the specifications.

Testing stage

The test phase will be all able verifying whether the deliverables, in this case, applications matches the requirements of the customers.

Control

Make sure that adequate control system is set up to make sure that everything falls in place. The test should be adapted to the particular project.

Independent audit

During the test phase, it is important to repeat some tests at random by another person to limit the risk of error.

Control of remedial efforts

Problems detected during the test phases should call for corrections in the process. New tests should then take place within the framework of the quality process to ensure that the corrections work.
