Description: The Quality Assurance Plan is a fundamental document in software project management that describes the quality processes and standards that must be followed throughout the development lifecycle. This plan establishes guidelines to ensure that the final product meets customer requirements and expectations, as well as industry regulations and standards. It includes the definition of quality metrics, testing methods, roles and responsibilities of the team, as well as procedures for process review and auditing. Implementing a quality assurance plan is crucial to minimize risks, reduce costs associated with errors, and improve customer satisfaction. In an agile development environment, this plan can be adapted to be more flexible and respond quickly to changes in project requirements, ensuring that quality remains a priority in each iteration of development. In the context of continuous integration, the plan may also include strategies for test automation and continuous software validation, allowing for early and efficient detection and correction of quality issues.
