Application of Quality Engineering to Agile Software Development

Abstract

With the world becoming digital, the photo imaging industry, like other industries, must now meet consumers' diversified needs accurately and promptly. As it is difficult for conventional development methods to deal flexibly with changes in specifications, agile development, in which customer requirements are incorporated as they arise, has become important. To promote agile development,our company has been improving our development flexibility by collaborating with software manufactures and importing their applications to provide functions that customers request. Meanwhile, testing has become more complex and conventional testing methods cannot keep up with the speed that the market demands. Quality engineering concepts were therefore introduced, and testing time was reduced by one third.
