Week 1 Task: Quality Management System (QMS) Documentation:

This task aims to familiarize you with the process of creating a Quality Management System (QMS) document. A QMS document is a crucial tool in the Quality Analyst field as it outlines the processes, procedures, and responsibilities needed to achieve quality policies and objectives. Your task is to create a DOC file outlining a hypothetical QMS for a software company. The document should include a Quality Policy, Quality Objectives, Procedure Document, Work Instructions, and Quality Forms. Remember, the QMS should comply with ISO 9001:2015 standards. The evaluation will be based on completeness, accuracy, and adherence to ISO 9001:2015.

Week 2 Task: Root Cause Analysis:

This task aims to develop your skills in conducting a Root Cause Analysis (RCA). An RCA is a method of problem-solving used to identify the underlying causes of faults or problems. Assume a scenario where a software product has repeatedly failed in user acceptance testing due to some unidentified bugs. Conduct an RCA on this situation and present your findings in a DOC file. The document should include the problem description, cause analysis, and proposed corrective actions. The evaluation will be based on your analytical skills, problem-solving ability, and the effectiveness of your proposed solutions.

Week 3 Task: Test Plan Development:

The objective of this task is to design a comprehensive test plan for a new software product. A test plan is a detailed document that outlines the test strategy, testing objectives, resources (manpower, software, hardware) required for testing, test schedule, test estimation and test deliverables. Your task is to develop a test plan in a DOC file for a hypothetical e-commerce website. The evaluation will be on the basis of the comprehensiveness of the test plan, clarity in defining test objectives, and the quality of the test strategy.

Week 4 Task: Software Quality Metrics:

This task aims to enhance your understanding of Software Quality Metrics. Quality metrics are a key component of an effective quality management system; they enable us to measure and control the quality of software products. Your task is to create a DOC file that identifies and thoroughly explains five key software quality metrics that you believe are essential for assessing the quality of a software product. In addition, propose methods for collecting and analyzing these metrics. The evaluation will be based on the relevance of chosen metrics, the depth of explanation, and the practicality of the proposed methods.

Week 5 Task: Quality Improvement Proposal:

This task is focused on Quality Improvement. Assume that you are a Quality Analyst for a software company that recently experienced a major product failure. Your task is to write a detailed quality improvement proposal in a DOC file. The proposal should include an analysis of the current situation, identified problems and their impact, proposed quality improvement initiatives, and an implementation plan. The evaluation will be based on the depth of the analysis, the impact of proposed improvements, and the feasibility of the implementation plan.
