For this assignment, use your scenario presented in the Week 2 assignment to examine several key challenges to software quality assurance and the impact on the cost of quality (not implementing quality), types of testing, and the importance of each. Reflecting on scholarly literature, developments, practices in lean quality assurance, and the impact that poor quality (cost of quality) has on a software user, discuss best practices for secure coding and security testing towards certification and accreditation. In your paper, be sure to consider and include the following:
Determine why the problem occurred: Understand the root cause of the issue from a technical and process perspective, and what steps led to the problem occurring. You should also explore if other software systems are susceptible to this type of defect.
Explain the gaps in the testing process that led to this issue: Large software systems typically have a quality assurance process. What were the gaps in this process? Why did they occur?
Analyze how this problem was addressed: When this issue was discovered, how did the software organization react in resolving the issue. Did they address the problem in a proper way? What improvements could have been made to the remediation process from a technical or process perspective?
Determine how this issue should be addressed: Define action steps to follow for building quality into the design of the software with supporting test cases and processes for follow up on exceptions and test fails, for successful testing, and certification.
Length: 5 to 7-page paper with supporting diagrams, tables, and illustrations, not including cover and reference pages
References: Include a minimum of 5 scholarly resources.
