CHAPTER 1
INTRODUCTION
1.1 PURPOSE
ESA PSS-05-0 describes the software engineering standards that
apply to all deliverable software implemented for the European Space
Agency (ESA), either in house or by industry [Ref 1].
ESA PSS-05-0 requires that all software projects assure that
products and procedures conform to standards and plans. This is called
‘Software Quality Assurance' (SQA). Projects must define their software
quality assurance activities in a Software Quality Assurance Plan (SQAP)1.
This guide defines and explains what software quality assurance is,
provides guidelines on how to do it, and defines in detail what a Software
Quality Assurance Plan should contain.
Everyone who is concerned with software quality should read this
guide, i.e. software project managers, software engineers and software
quality assurance personnel.
1.2 OVERVIEW
Chapter 2 contains a general discussion of the principles of
Software Quality Assurance, expanding upon ESA PSS-05-0. Chapter 3
describes how to write the SQAP, in particular how to fill out the document
template.
All the mandatory practices in ESA PSS-05-0 that apply to software
quality assurance are repeated in this document. The identifier of the
practice in parentheses marks a repetition. Practices that apply to other
chapters of ESA PSS-05-0 are referenced in the same way. This document
contains no new mandatory practices.
