Google methods like test-driven development, feature driven development, extreme programming, … just to name a few. It could help you find a structured way to manage your projects that is different from the classic waterfall model.

I believe that the way to lead a project depends on the level of “quality” and requirements your customers want. It determines which project management method is the most appropriate for you. Meaning, you don’t build a entertainment website the same way than a medical software for instance and you don’t manage a team of 3 developers the same way you manage 100 persons.

In other words, the QA process you will follow might be more related to the projects you develop. In my mind, there are no standard methods but you can definitely gather good practices and get inspired by different methods.

If you go for the corporate world, in addition to this, your QA process will probably have to include methods such as 6 sigma or modify softwares to be Sarbanes-Oxley compliant.

Hope this gives you ideas and will help you to find what you’re looking for :-)

Have a good day!
