Units 3, 4 and 5

QA Tools for the Software development, building and delivery process (Source Code Management, Continuous Integration/Delivery, Bug Tracking...)

Before

After

Plan 
(Define targets and QA Activities)

Prevent (Activities you can do to prevent bugs from being injected) 

Development

  Prevent: Assertion Driven Development, Code Reviews 

Remove: Testing 

Minimize Impact: Implement Contention Techniques

Measure (metrics, defects reported, etc.)

Develop and deliver (e.g. bugfixes)

Execute contention techniques

Bug Tracking (to keep track of bugs) 
Source Code Management (to let multiple people work in the same or different versions at the same time)
Continuous Integration and Delivery 

TOOLS

if we were using a waterfall model...

You measure continuously in every iteration 
The plan is defined in advance but adapted continuosly

Some of these activities overlap because of the need to work in parallel versions

And with the adoption of Agile Methodologies we do all the activities in every phase of the project
