+
+ | **Overall quality management:**
+ | Quality culture:
+ | Quality as well as Safety and Security Culture is planned to grow in the SW platform. This shall be fostered by doing process conformance checks and work product reviews, as well as lessons learned
+ | after each feature development completion and a process audit after each platform/project release. Delta audits allowed based on variation statement.
+ | The main outcome is the :need:`wp__process_impr_report`, which is used to improve the processes for the platform/project.
+
+ |
+ | Quality Management:
+ | ASPICE 4.0 standard is selected for quality management. Processes will always link to the :ref:`standard_iso26262` standard, :ref:`standard_isopas8926` standard, :ref:`standard_isosae21434` and to the `ASPICE 4.0 `_ standard.
+ |
+ | Communication:
+ | Cross functional teams are interdisciplinary, so the regular (sprint) planning and review meetings enable communication. The organization of the project is described in the Project Management Plan. Another main communication means are the Pull Request (PR) reviews.
+ | Also the standard Eclipse Foundation communication strategies are used (e.g. mailing lists, messenger).
+ |
+ | Quality issues, non-conformances and improvements:
+ | Feedback from the field, but also during development of change requests to existing features, bug reporting by the Open Source community or integration of existing SW components into new features may lead to the discovery of issues, non-conformances or improvements.
+ | Non-conformance can also be deviations from the development process with impact on safety or security.
+ | If these are known at the time of creation of a release they will be part of the :need:`wp__platform_sw_release_note` for the feature.
+ | Other issues and non-conformances relevant for already delivered releases will be identified as such and communicated (as defined in Problem Resolution part of the Project Management Plan) via the :need:`wp__issue_track_system`.
+ |
+ | **Tailoring quality activities:**
+ | Main tailoring driver is that the SW platform is pure SW development and is provided as "SW element" - this explains mainly the generic, platform wide tailoring.
+ | Tailoring is done for the whole SW platform by defining only the relevant processes and their resulting outcomes and an argumentation why the others are not needed in `ASPICE 4.0 `_.
+ |
+ | **Planning quality activities:**
+ | In the Quality Management Plan the nomination of the quality manager :need:`rl__quality_manager` and the project lead :need:`rl__project_lead` is documented.
+ | The planning of quality activities is done using issues in the :need:`wp__issue_track_system` as specified in the Project Management part of the Project Management Plan.
+ | It contains for each issue
+ | * objective - as part of the issue description
+ | * dependencies on other activities or information - by links to the respective issues
+ | * responsible person for the activity - as issue assignee
+ | * required resources for the activity - by selecting a team label (or "project") pointing to a team of committers dedicated to the issue resolution
+ | * duration in time, including start and end point - by selecting a milestone
+ | * UID of the resulting work products - stated in the issue title
+ |
+ | The planning of quality activities is part of
+ | * generic planning, dealing with all work products needed only once for the platform. This is included in the Quality Management Platform Plan.
+ |
+ | **Planning supporting processes:**
+ | Supporting processes (Requirements Management, Configuration Management, Change Management, Documentation Management, Tool Management) are planned within the Project Management Plan.
+ |
+ | **Planning integration and verification:**
+ | Integration on the target hardware is not done in the scope of the SW platform project, but SW/SW integration up to the feature level is performed and its test results are part of the :need:`wp__verification__platform_ver_report`.
+ | The integration on the target hardware, done by the distributor or OEM, is supported by delivering a set of HW/SW feature integration and platform tests which were already run successfully on a reference HW platform.
+ | This is planned by the respective workproducts:
+ | * :need:`wp__verification__feat_int_test`
+ | * :need:`wp__verification__platform_test`
+ | Verification planning is documented in :need:`wp__verification__plan`
+ |
+ | **Scheduling of audits, conformance checks, work product reviews, release verification and approval:**
+ | Scheduling is done in the same way as for all work products definition by issues. The respective work products are listed in :need:`doc_concept__wp_inspections`.

+Quality Work Product Review Guideline
+=====================================
+
+.. gd_guidl:: Quality work product review
+ :id: gd_guidl__wp_review
+ :status: valid
+
+Purpose
+-------
+| Definition of a generic workflow to ensure the quality of work products.
+
+Objectives
+----------
+| Check and assure the quality of the project/platform work products.
+
+Process
+-------
+
+| Step 1: Create issue with label ``q_wp_review`` in status OPEN
+| Step 2: Identify which work products will be checked during the review and document it in the created issue
+| Step 3: Adjust :need:`gd_chklst__review_checklist` based on specified work products to review, which contains acceptance criteria for all work products
+| Step 4: Create PR, Link the stored checklist in the PR to the issue
+| Step 5: Perform review according to checklist
+| Step 6: Report deviations from the acceptance criteria in the issue tracking system with label ``bug`` and link it to the review issue and the checklist
+| Step 7: Review result:
+| negative, in case of any deviation, continue with STEP 8
+| positive, in case of no deviations, continue with STEP 10
+| Step 8: Trigger authors of WPs with deviations to resolve them in the same PR and close the corresponding bug issue
+| Step 9: If all bug issues are resolved, continue with 5, otherwise continue with 8
+| Step 10: Merge the PR and communicate the result, initial issue is now in status CLOSED

+.. doc_getstrt:: Getting Started on Quality Management
+ :id: doc_getstrt__quality__process
+ :status: valid
+ :tags: quality_management
+
+This document describes the steps which need to be done to ensure Quality according to ASPICE 4.0 as used
+standard in the project.
+
+Therefore guidelines :need:`gd_guidl__qlm_plan_definitions`, :need:`gd_guidl__wp_review` and a :need:`doc_concept__quality__process` are available.
+
+General Workflow
+****************
+
+One goal of the Quality Management Process is to ensure that the project is following the defined processes and
+that the quality of the deliverables is according to the requirements. The Quality Management process follows an
+continuous approach.
+
+The workflows are defined in the :ref:`quality_workflows` section. The following workflows shall be executed continuously:
+
+* Consult and Execute Quality Trainings
+* Monitor/Improve Quality Activities
+
+For every release, the following workflows are executed:
+
+* Create/Maintain Quality Management Plan
+* Verify/Approve Platform Release
+* Execute Platform Process Audit
+* Execute Execute Feature Contribution Conformance Checks
+* Execute Work Product Reviews
+
+For open issues the issue tracking system is used to track the issues and to ensure that they are resolved in time.
+The issue tracking system is defined in the :need:`wp__issue_track_system`.
