POSITION AND ROLE OF FEEDBACK IN THE SOFTWARE QUALITY LIFE CYCLE

The current research relates with findings for a new possibility to improve quality of software development end product. Not any of the software development stages can be imagined without human participation. Therefore the knowledge of the development staff has an essential impact on the software quality. Teaching of information technologies specialists the impact of the particular development activity on software quality simultaneously with the acquiring programming, date base formation and other development skills is a possibility to improve the quality of particular products already during their development stage. Such teaching requires modifying special courses of the bachelor's study programmes by adding knowledge from aspects of quality assurance. Teaching staff of these courses should already perfect their knowledge in software quality. The research is devoted to development of the proposals for a higher education institution for teaching information technology specialists. Inclusion the teaching of the quality model of the end product into the study programme is described. The main idea is based on the teaching to the students the total software quality assurance aspects in parallel with uniform discussion of the quality features of the end product in all special study courses and the impressionability of them doing the particular development activities. The research contains a version of preparation work for implementation of the quality model's acquisition in the study courses. The adjacency matrix of software quality characteristics and study courses gives an idea on which particular characteristics may be influenced in every study course. The feedback data from software developers, in turn, identify the typical quality requirements of the customers, and the issues to be taught definitely in every study course to ensure and to increase the quality of software under development.
