INTRODUCTION

With this activity, we achieve cognitive skills to identify and classify the
current models and standards that govern the quality of software development.

Quality in software development

Activity 1

A newly established software development company has been requested by a clinic, with
the following requirement:

A web-based information system is required to record the entry

from the hospitalization of patients to the clinic, containing the patient's information, from
the room and bed occupied, of the materials and medications used; in order to
calculate the cost of hospitalization at the time of discharging the patient.

In addition, the project must allow for consultation of the available beds and rooms.

The company requests this advisory, and for this, the trainees must develop a
