Analysis Techniques

Analysis techniques are used in Software Quality Assurance (SQA) to analyze and evaluate software products or processes to ensure they meet specific quality standards. The following are some commonly used analysis techniques in SQA:

Root Cause Analysis (RCA): This technique is used to identify the underlying cause(s) of defects or problems in the software product or process. RCA helps SQA teams to address the root cause(s) of issues rather than just fixing the symptoms.

Pareto Analysis: This technique is used to identify the most common or frequent defects in the software product or process. By prioritizing the most significant issues, SQA teams can allocate their resources more effectively.

Failure Mode and Effects Analysis (FMEA): This technique is used to identify potential failure modes and their impact on the software product or process. FMEA helps SQA teams to identify and mitigate potential issues before they occur.

Fault Tree Analysis (FTA): This technique is used to identify the root cause of a particular issue by examining the potential causes of the problem. FTA helps SQA teams to isolate the root cause(s) of an issue and develop effective solutions.

Statistical Analysis: This technique is used to analyze data related to the software product or process. Statistical analysis can be used to identify patterns and trends, and to evaluate the effectiveness of SQA activities.
