	Software Quality Assurance SQA Practice
		SQA budgeting shall be part of the Request For Proposal (RFP) cost evaluation according to corporate policy and not dependent on the goodwill of project offices.
		SQA task is limited to verifying the conformance of deliverable items to software engineering standards stated in the project contract (usually military standards or ANSI/IEEE standards) or conformance to corporate standards (usually patterned after military standards or ANSI/IEEE standards and modified to corporate or project environment).
		Assurance that support software and computer hardware to be used to develop and test software and hardware under the contract are acceptable.

	Software Quality Assurance
		The goals of SQA are to improve software quality by appropriately monitoring both software and the development process to ensure full compliance with the established standards and procedures.
		Software Verification and Validation Plan, which describes the methods used to verify that the requirements are implemented in the design, that the design is implemented in the code, and that the code meets the requirements.
		Software quality is defined as the degree to which software conforms to quality criteria.
