Summary


Software quality is certainly affected by testing, but there are other activities that can impact quality sooner and less expensively. Various forms of peer reviews can find faults before they escape to other phases of the project. Standards can be defined and enforced as a way to prevent defects from being introduced into the game, many of which are difficult to detect by testing. Measures such as sigma value and phase containment provide stakes in the ground from which you can set improvement goals.

The Software Quality Assurance organization carries out activities according to a plan that monitor and promote the use of these techniques and measures. Their cost must be weighed against the consequences and costs of releasing a poor quality game.
