These activities are quite diverse and will include software criticality, safety and dependability analysis, gathering and interpreting quality metrics on the developed software, non-conformance handling, participation in formal customer reviews, support to test campaigns etc.

As the projects’ software product assurance manager, you will also interface with the customer and provide him/her with regular reporting on the performed activities.
