Analysis of QA Requirements (qT1)
To be performed by
Designated QA manager (it is also expedient when
initiating a project that QA considerations are
undertaken by an "independent" person wherever
possible).
Goals
To prepare the decision about whether to conduct the
project, from the perspective of quality assurance. The
results of this activity must
be documented in the preliminary QA plan.
Execution
This involves the collection and evaluation of important
QA requirements. The details already known from the
preliminary requirements and any discussions with the
client must be collated and
analyzed in terms of their importance for the planned
project (e.g. specified development method and life cycle
approach, mandatory methods, procedures and tools;
quality and quality assurance requirements; relevance to
safety and security, and official safety certificates;
certificates required, etc.).
Notes
When analyzing the QA requirements, the activities are
focused primarily on collecting the requirements and the
consequences they have for project management; the
specific QA measures are not defined until the QA
planning stage of the Definition phase.
