Shell Method™ Software Engineering Process Repository
The QAR conducts periodic reviews of the stage deliverables associated with this project as defined in the SQAP. The QA reviewer works independently from the development team to ensure objective reviews.
The QAR is primarily responsible for determining that appropriate technical and end-user reviews of stage deliverables are in place. The QAR is also responsible for verifying requirements traceability across stage deliverables, primarily by reviewing the appropriate requirements traceability reports.
The QAR is required to fully understand the SDLC, including specific knowledge of the deliverables and review criteria for all deliverable classes. This is accomplished via:
Reading and understanding the SDLC.
Reading and understanding the SCMP.
Reading and understanding the SQAP.
Reviewing the documents available on the Shell Method example project Web site.
The QAR is considered to be qualified after reading and understanding the above documentation. An email statement of compliance to the PDR serves as objective evidence of qualification.
