HKSQA Conference 2010 – Software Assessment and Certification

Hong Kong Software Quality Assurance (HKSQA) Conference is organized by Hong Kong Productivity Council (HKPC) on 17 March 2010. Hong Kong Society for Quality (HKSQ) is one of supporting organizations. The HKSAR government has announced Testing and Certification as one of the six industries in Hong Kong and the Hong Kong Council for Testing and Certification (HKCTC) has established on Sep 2009. The HKSQA conference aims to provide insights and forum of discussion to focus on software industry.


In the beginning, Mr. Wilson Fung (Executive Director, HKPC) gave welcome speech. He said it was the second time to hold the conference. Software testing is about 20% of the software development cost. He hopes that HKPC can facilitate Software Quality Product Certification in Hong Kong.

Dr. Hon Samson Tam (Legislative Councilor – Information Technology Functional Constituency) was invited to give an opening address. He hopes that HKPC play a role as hub of technology and train up software expert in Hong Kong.


Then Dr. Tam and Mr. Fung turn on the laser crystal ball, indicating the opening of the HKSQA Resource Centre and its website.


After that Mr. Patrick Li (Sr. Consultant, IT Industry Development Division, HKPC) introduced the HKSQ Website. He briefed HKSQA Resource Centre services as follows:
i) Consultancy and advisory services
ii) Training and education
iii) Conference and show case
iv) Industry support
v) Research and publication


He also explained the IT Governance & Management framework.


The first speaker was Mr. John Hung (Secretary – General, HKCTC) and his topic entitled “The Hong Kong Council for Testing and Certification – Its Mission and Work” He briefed the background of Testing and Certification Industry which had about 690 establishments (including in-house laboratory), employed 15,690 persons and about 8 billion business receipted.


He said HKCTC needed to work with the industry to formulate a three-year market-driven development plan within six months of establishment for consideration of the Chief Executive. There were two working group named “Working Group on the Landscape of the Testing and Certification Industry” and “Working Group on Selection of Trades for Focusing”. HKCTC exchanged views with public organizations on potential support and co-operation such as Hong Kong Trade Development Council (HKTDC), Hong Kong Science Park (HKSP), Vocational Training Council (VTC) and HKPC, etc. They also discussed with IT sector to consult their views and suggestions such as Hong Kong Computer Society, Hong Kong Information Technology Federation, Hong Kong Information Technology Joint Council, Hong Kong Software Industry Association and Internet Professional Association, etc.

The second speaker was Ms. Jian hua HOU (Director Assessor, Zhuhai Southern Software Test Centre) and her topic was “Professional Software Testing”. His talk separated into two parts. The first part was software testing process and the second part was sharing the case of professional software testing.


Software testing included α test, β test and the third party test. α test is performed by design house that required analysis and assessment of design software document, process testing and adjustment by programmer. β test was performed by customer such as free trial version for public. The third party test is using professional assessment tools to test software management mechanism including software product test, software development process test and network test.

She introduced some common language such as Java, C/C++, etc.


The national standards were also briefed.


She introduced the service of Zhuhai Southern Software Test Centre (ZHSSTC) lastly. MTR and Jockey Club was their customer in Hong Kong.


And then ZHSSTC Testing Services Case Study was presented by Mr. Michael Lau (System Manger, MTR Corporation Limited). He mentioned MTR Asset Management Model and then explained why they needed the Profestional Testing Services. It is because of the high requirement on quality of work; moreover, it is more cost effective than maintaining an internal testing team. The areas of testing were included “Load Test”, “Critical Functions” and “Code Scanning (Security Loophole Checking)”.


The following test reports were from ZHSSTC:
- System Performance Testing Report
- Static Code Performance Analysis Report
- Result of Code Standard Checking
- System Security Testing Report
He also said some problems were difficult to be detected with the black box functional test, so the testing service was desirable to have a 3-party to check the quality of works of the contractors (e.g. APJ).

At the end of morning session, Mr. Xinjun AO (COO, Zhuhai AiPuJing Software Technology Co., Ltd. (APJ)) shared the work in collaboration with ZHSSTC and MTRC on Professional Testing Service. He explained three main challenges such as “Collaboration of more than 3 parties”, “Understanding of Domain Knowledge” and “Project Coordination and Communication”.
