Introduction
Cloud Accounting Company (CAC) is providing Accounting software in a Cloud environment as Software as a Service (SaaS)
Testing and Quality Assurance (QA) Process

Why CAC should have a separate division for QA and Testing
Testing and Quality Assurance Process is very important for CAC because of the following reasons:
Accounting Software should be 100% reliable
The Cloud environment should be safe and secure
As the numbers of customers are increasing CAC should be able to cater to the needs of the increasing demand
Protecting the Confidentiality and Privacy of customer information
It is highly necessary to avoid the risks and mistakes likely in software development process
It is highly imperative to maintain customer satisfaction
“By "building in" the quality from the very beginning of the software development life cycle, and by emphasizing the need for static and dynamic test methods throughout the life cycle, the cost of rework can be significantly reduced”
It is extremely important for those responsible for planning and preparing EQA activities to be very thorough in its procedures. It is at this crucial step that the framework for all understanding of the particular problem or organisation is to be related to the system itself by the assurer. In this preparation, a clear explanation of the risks, benefits and validity of the processes are discussed and presented. Holistic and general compliance is the target and should be remembered as such during these preparations. Continued and flowing success is the ultimate result in this type of work.
When the manager of project carried out its work plan should take into consideration the possible risks that may occur within the project. The risk is the possibility that occurs a problem within a project and that may cause some change within the same (Heldman, 2011). It should be noted that not all risks are bad since they can be potential opportunities to make some changes that will improve the overall status of the project. In the same way a risk not taken into account in time can create one problem in the project and can completely change the final performance of the project. The project manager can take several elements to identify the risks. Some elements and documents that can be used to identify risks are: search internal risks of the project, such as resources
Risks management is an important step during the process of a project. Failing to manage a risk may result in unforeseen event happening and a project’s failure. For example, with limited budget, an unforeseen event or an accident occurs in the middle of a project and this matter has not been considered and needs a big sum of expense, then the project may be stopped because of this unexpected event. We should know it is necessary to understand how to identify risks and assumptions based on the information. After identifying risks, it is important for project managers to set contingency plans to prevent and deal with these risks when they occur. Of course, several problems may happen during considering
Risk or threat is common and found in various fields of daily life and business. This concept of risk is found in various stages of development and execution of a project. Risks in a project can mean there is a chance that the project will result in total failure, increase of project costs, and an extension in project duration which means a great deal of setbacks for the company. The process of risk management is composed of identifying, assessing, mitigating, and managing the risks of the project. It
“Perform Quality Assurance (QA)- The process of auditing the quality requirements and the results from quality control measurements to ensure that appropriate quality standards and operational definitions are used” (Project Management Institute, 2013, p. 227). The task begins with development and continues to
Successful software project managers usually are concerned with different type of risks that can affect the project performance and objectives. In order to, to reduce the impact of risk issues and have a good project, my project team in ENB were able to develop a risk plan in advance to identify, prioritize and analyze these risk. These risks represented in schedule risks, cost and technical.
From the assessment, the AOD QA team is doing many things right from the perspective of a waterfall development methodology, such as review and signoff, risk-based testing, test planning, defect tracking, and reporting with KPIs. However with the shift to the left, the AOD QA team understands some changes are necessary to foster greater efficiently. For example, the QA team is moving offshore QA resources to onshore. This will have a positive impact on the collaboration with the project team.

As we know there are some uncertain events that can impact to the project objective that called Risk. Therefore, I consider the following set of process that Risk Management must do these. Overall, Risk management should involve identifying, assessing, and responding to project risks in order to minimize the likelihood of the potential impact of the events on the accomplishment the project out comes. Managing risk includes taking action to prevent or minimize the impacts.
Similar to centralised inventory data, orders and payments, cloud-based accounting and reporting give the company the ability to perform accounting and reports for all shops at central location using single system.
In this essay, I will be talking about Risk Management. What is Risk Management? Risk Management is identifying potential risks that could arise whilst developing a software product and taking specific measures on how you could prevent these risks from occurring. Risks not only have an impact on software product, but also have an impact on the overall project and the business organization, therefore it is important to know what a risk is and how to minimize it.

Clouding computing is an emerging technology that provides opportunities for firms to develop business models and explore more possibilities in their daily operation. When cloud computing was first popularized, firms adopted themselves to gain a competitive advantage among others. However, it is indispensable for the firm to employ the benefits of cloud computing nowadays. In addition, cloud computing is slowly transforming the accounting industry by offering to streamline accounting processes in order to cut costs and adopt services which add value to the firm and clients. Recently, Deloitte, one of the big four company that becomes one of the competitors of PricewaterhouseCoopers (PwC), has begun to pay attention in the cloud computing
The application of Accounting Information Systems has become widespread among enterprises in Australia due to improved affordability and efficiency resulting from their technical power. The vendors have moved from desktop systems to cloud accounting, and it has led to a challenge of selection and implementation to customers and users. This paper offers a synthesis of literature on AIS in Australia, its history, development, and adoption, analysis of the current market size and how the leaders in the market have managed to carve out their competitive advantage. There are also gaps in the sector, in particular for customers. Hence the paper also provides recommendations.
Quality Control (QC) – It is done during monitoring and controlling process. Quality control monitors project deliverables to verify that the deliverables are of acceptable quality and the customer is
The transition from the traditional accounting system to the ‘cloud’ is a necessary one in particular to small and medium sized business organizations (SMBO). SMBOs are considered to be more flexible in terms of accepting changes in demand of technologies and thus
