Poka-Yoke (Mistake-Proofing)

Poka-yoke is a QA technique developed by Shingo at Toyota in 1960’s. Poka-yoke devices are mechanisms that lead to prevention of potential quality problem before it occurs or the rapid detection of quality problems if they are introduced.

• Examples:
  • Light on if the car door is not properly closed
  • Warning beep if the engine is turned-off when lights are on

Software Reviews

Software reviews are the filter for the software engineering process. They re applied at various different points and serve to uncover errors that can be removed and help to purify the software engineering activities.
In this context it is useful to look at the “V-model” of software development. This model emphasizes that SQA is a function performed at all stages of software development life cycle. At the initial stages (requirement, architecture, design, code), it is achieved through activities known as Formal Technical Reviews or FTR. At the later stages (integration and acceptance), testing comes into picture.
