Abstract. A quality product is required for each output of all projects. To achieve a quality product, there is nowadays a lot of different methods and even more specialized works dealing with this issue. Only a few of these studies and methods rely on a fact, that the product will be developed by a small and limited team. In this essay I will discuss the possibility of quality manager for a small team to develop a product. More specifically, I will discuss the project, which was assigned for my team during the Team Project subject (STU FIIT).

Abstract. Word quality and mainly the one referring to software represents a magical concept which unfortunately suffers from being unfulfilled from the very beginning of usage of word software. Every management mainly deals with the people and that is the reason why I as a quality manager focus on approach to the people, how to be closer to them and pull the whole development team in a nonviolent way to achieve new levels of software quality. Quality manager often experiences sciamachy because on the one hand flawless software is utopia and on the other introducing new practices that will raise the quality level is not an easy task. Programmers ego and old established practices are just a few of the many problems that are waiting to be solved by quality manager. I am focusing mainly on the procedures and behaviour which can result in reduction of problems connected to quality crisis if properly established and integrated. Important weapons that quality manager can use is sensible approach, gaining trust on every level of organisation and development team and setting objectives. Fulfilling of these objectives must be measurable and in the end will increase quality not only in front of customers but also give programmers sense of good work. To be successful as a quality manager owners and managers must clearly see the benefits brought by activities connected to quality management by means of reducing costs for future development.

Abstract. Software quality consists of functional aspects, that are visible to the customer, and structural aspects, that are visible only in cases of their insufficiency. Quality must be built into product in each development phase including specification. Incorrectly specified product is a bad-quality product, since it is of no value for the customer. On the other hand, product built with quility in mind in each one of its development phases, leads to customer satisfaction. Quality must be constantly improved in the development process. Essay compares aspects of quality of web, mobile and desktop applications.
