Production Quality Software System

Production quality software systems increased complexity and scale of software systems presents difficult challenges in design, development, and asserting software quality. Software organizations that develop and maintain software systems on an industrial scale, have huge challenges in addressing software product quality concerns in terms of identifying a comprehensive set of software quality requirements and ways to achieve them despite adoption to industry-standard quality systems and processes.

Production quality software defect can be regarded as any failure to address end-user requirements. Common defects include missed or misunderstood requirements and errors in design, functional logic, data relationships, process timing, validity checking, and coding errors.

Software quality control system is the set of procedures used by organizations to ensure that a software product will meet its quality goals at the best value to the customer, and to continually improve the organization’s ability to produce software products in the future.

The software defect management approach is based on counting and managing defects. Defects are commonly categorized by severity, and the numbers in each category are used for planning. More mature software development organizations use tools, such as defect leakage matrices (for counting the numbers of defects that pass-through development phases before detection) and control charts, to measure and improve development process capability.

Production software quality is defined as a field of study and practice that describes the desirable attributes of software products. There are two main approaches to software quality: defect management and quality attributes.
