               ABSTRACT

               Software Quality Assurance can mean a lot  of  things
               to a lot of people.  "Software quality, once the sub-
               ject of many jokes, is a life and death matter now  -
               Glenford  J. Myers".  In this seminar we discuss com-
               mon causes of poor quality software.  Software quali-
               ty  is  discussed  in  terms of metrics.  It is shown
               that by properly  prioritizing  the  desired  quality
               factors, software quality can be aimed for and imple-
               mented in the program development cycle.
