The Realization Of Automated Software Quality Assurance In The Cads

The paper mainly introduces the concept of Software Quality Assurance (SQA) in Cross Architecture Development Suites (CADS) and does the bests to automate it. SQA has many different definitions in lots of fields. In CADS, SQA includes software configuration management, software build generation, software testing, software defects management and software quality audit. Their concepts will be detailed in the paper. Automated SQA will make each part of SQA working automatically and connect them closely to improve the quality and efficiency of SQA. In order to implement Automated SQA, there should include 5 parts. Firstly, there should be a uniform software configuration management. Uniform software configuration management is the beginning of Automated SQA. Lacking it could not reach Automated SQA. Secondly, it should implement automated software building. Automated software building is one of the keys in Automated SQA. It will generate all products for test or release. It also connects software configuration management and software testing. Thirdly, it should implement automated software testing framework and automated software test cases. Software testing will check each build generated by the software build system. Developers will modify their designing by testing results. Fourthly, it should implement uniform bug management. Uniform bug management will check and control bugs'statuses to help fix bugs. Fifthly, it should have software quality audit. A good software quality audit can track and control project healthy. The main contribution of the dissertation is to implement one kind of Automated SQA in CADS project. It includes using CVS to implement uniform software configuration management, designing and implementation an automated continuous software building, designing and implementation automated software testing, using Bugzilla to implement uniform bug management and going on a good software quality audit. CADS Automated SQA also implements good communications between related parts by quickly Internet connection. Automated SQA brings great advantage to CADS development. It not only assures...
