A systematic and independent examination to determine whether quality activities and related results comply with planned arrangements and whether these arrangements are implemented effectively and are suitable to achieve objectives.
once the whole work is finished with regarding to a particular entity,quality leader will do a work product audit(cheking timesheet,coding standards,comparing time sheet efforts with efforts in WIMS,whether defects are looged for all the phases(Analysis,coding,review(analysis and coding),Test case preparation,testing,review(testcase prep and testing)), ..etc for that particular entity).
once in a while Q.L will be checking whether the team is filling the documents like WIMS(Work Item Management Sheet for their respective entites).and if it is not filled properly she will put that in audit log and mail respective person to fill and inform her.once it is filled she will close that in audit log.
these are some of the processes that will be followed in quality.
By Quality Audit we mean the procedural controls that ensure participants are adequately following the required procedures.
In particular, Quality Audit relates to the approach to quality that is laid down in quality standards such as the ISO-900x standards.
The principles of Quality Audit, in the sense we mean it here, are based on the style of quality standards used in several formal national and international standards such as the ISO-900x international quality standards. These standards do not in themselves create quality. The logic is as follows.
Every organisation should define comprehensive procedures by which their products or services can be delivered consistently to the desired level of quality. As was discussed in the section on Quality Management, maximum quality is rarely the desired objective since it can cost too much and take too long. The average product
It is an independant inspection or assessment activity that verifies compliance with plans,policies and procedures and ensures that related activities areimplemented effectively to achieve objectives.
