Quality Work Product Set

Definition

The quality set is the cohesive set of work products that may be produced during the quality engineering activity.

Work Products

The OPF repository contains the following set of predefined quality work products:

• Planning:
  • Quality Plan,
    which is used to document the plans for performing quality engineering on an endeavor.
  • Evaluation Plan,
    which documents all plans for performing evaluations on an endeavor.
• Modeling:
  • Quality Model,
    which formalizes the definition of the term “quality” as used during an endeavor.
• Evaluating:
  • Audit Report,
    which are used to document the results of an audit.
  • Endeavor Debrief Report,
    which documents the analysis and lessons learned resulting from the "post mortem" walkthrough at the end of an endeavor.
  • Inspection Reports,
    which are used to document the results of an individual inspector's evaluation of a work product.
  • Inspection Summary Reports,
    which are used to summarize the major findings of the inspection of a work product.
  • Process Inspection Checklist,
    which are used to direct the inspection of the development process.
  • Review Materials,
    which are the materials presented to the reviewers during a review.
  • Review Report,
    which are used to document the results of a review.

Guidelines

• Different endeavors require different processes, which in turn will require different quality work products.
• Every endeavor does not require the production of every quality work product.
• Select only those quality work products that are appropriate for the endeavor.
• Selected quality work products should be:
  • Relevant.
  • Useful.
  • Usable.
  • Cost-effective.
