This Quality Plan sets the project plans and expectations for overall project quality, tools, processes and plans.  This includes early release programs (like alpha- and beta-sites). 
 

Quality Objectives:

 

Must	Maintain code at its current quality level  Meet division blah's functionality needs
Want	Improve code quality in the blah  module Add additional test coverage
Not	Get to 100% branch coverage Remove all defects

 

FLURPS:

The FLURPS (functionality, localizability, usability, reliability, performance and supportability) model is the basis for this quality plan.  These various FLURPS aspects need to be balanced.
 

Quality Aspect	Importance	Comments
Functionality	Medium	blah blah
Localizability	Low	The system includes localization facilities for divisional use, but the base system doesn't need to be localized.
Usability	High	blah
Reliability	High	blah
Performance	Medium	The intent is to have good performance, but in the context of the use of the system, performance is not a huge driving issue.
Supportability	Medium	blah

 
 

Artifacts to be tested:

The specific artifacts and/or components that will be tested are:

• Installation application
• Readme file
• FooBar application
• BarFoo ActiveX/COM component
