About LabVIEW and ISO 9000

In this section, we?ll look at the relevant aspects of ISO 9000 quality standards from a LabVIEW developer?s perspective. Also mentioned here is the topic of software engineering and how the information in Chap. 13, ?Software Engineering Primer,? is at the root of quality software development. Finally, I?ll give you some tips on using the LV9000 package, the Professional G Developers Toolkit, and the Unit Test and Validation Procedures Toolkit.

You will find that the actual documents are mercifully brief and to the point, having been distilled from the quality guidelines of many countries. In turn, each country has its own way of referring to the ISO 9000 standards. For instance, in the United States, the series has been adopted as the American National Standards Institute (ANSI)/American Society of Quality Control (ASQC) Q9000 series. If you are required to use a standard different from ISO 9000, this chapter should still be of value because of the degree of interrelation among standards-setting bodies. In fact, there is a long-term trend toward harmonization of all the various quality standards worldwide, which may one day reduce confusion for those of us who work under such...
