Software quality attributes are a critical factor in the longstanding success of any enterprise. Quality attributes increase organizational profitability, reduce maintenance cost, achieve loyalty, and customer fulfillment. Quality audits help ensure that the software achieves value and efficiency. However, it is crucial to perform software quality audits in a consistent and planned manner. These audits should be carried out throughout the SDLC, to verify and validate artifacts produced at the end of the various SDLC phases. Effective quality audits should not only focus on process conformance, but also incorporate software architecture, design, build, and testing to improve confidence in software quality.
