Quality assurance
The following methods and techniques will be used to develop project:
1) UML, State Charts: These techniques will be used to formalize and describe operations in the test harness that involve user events and mode changes.
2) Coding Standards: We will use the defined coding standard and we will try ensuring that all produced code is consistent with this standard.
3) Traceability: We will use standard traceability matrices to ensure that all requirements and all
Design specifications are fulfilled by the final products.
