Abstract—This research work is to describe some issues and their solutions with respect to quality management of software products. Software is the only type of product which is famous for the internal complexity and providing a quality in software products is more difficult. So Quality should be managed, at the beginning stage of the Software Development Life Cycle(SDLC). In general, No one can give guarantee that a product is a quality product, until all the modules, components of product are tested by the teams and until they approved that the product is high-quality product. While doing integration of components, problems can comes, so iterative approach of Software Quality implementation and testing required during Integration, which should ensure the quality throughout the development process of product. In this paper I proposed an iterative solution for performing testing for ensure the quality with in software products. ‘Quality Category Matrix’ is proposed for monitoring the quality internally during each artifact development. Regardless the fact that in world many standards (ISO 9126), process improvement practices (CMM)and Models (MC call’s FURPS) exist for the quality assurance of software products. But existence and implementation of quality in the software products is still an issue in software development. Professional software Developers are still looking for better solution for putting into practice new approaches to ensure the quality.
