SQABD (www.sqabd.com) is a user group that is determined to improve the Software Industry in Bangladesh. It is not just about Software Quality Assurance and Testing. Our goal is to Build Better Software. We discuss interesting topics, issues and experiences on development, testing, process, automation, planning, productizing and more.We believe that two approaches need to be combined to build better software:
* By supporting the development of high quality software
* By assuring the required quality attributes during the development of high quality software
We believe that the project team as a whole is responsible for the quality and success of a software project. We are focused on the viable achievement of software quality with a practitioners approach, instead of certain process models or standards.We believe that software development will always be difficult and so it can only be feasible with skilled knowledge workers in the project team. -
