Quality is continuous improvement.
When Project is Done _________________________________
When your project is done (this generally is when the product has gone to "FCS" (has been shipped to the first customer as released product), there are some special things that the QA Lead should do with respect to the project.

-Close Bugs:
All bugs resolved with this project's release must be put into the
"Closed" state and marked as "Fixed", Rejected, or "Accepted" in this
release.
Do these by following steps:
1.Decide on the unique string that will distinguish the bugs
resolved by this release from those resolved in previous and future
releases. This string typically should include the Product and the Version # the project is released as, except if the project was a follow-on project with
the same version number as another product only released later in which case the Product should not be used but the platform info should be used instead.
For example:
[Product Name] [Ver 3.0]
2.1 ASCII
2.1 PC
[Product Name] [Ver 3.0.5]
It is strongly recommended that the string utilize the actual 'Version #' the product is released as rather than the internal project name so that the name will make sense to people who are not familiar with the internal project names.
2.Ensure that bugs already closed for this release have the
'Resolved in Version' status set to this string. It is very likely that some
other string was used when resolving bugs during the project, so probably all of the bugs closed in connection with this release need to be modified by
this step.
3.Bugs that were fixed or rejected in this release but not yet closed need to be changed to the 'Closed' state. Fixed bugs are most likely ones that were not verified as fixed by QA, rejected bugs were not verified as rejected and Accepted bugs are most likely ones that were not verified as acceptable to leave open, so to close them you most likely have to indicate: "Bug Report Diary"' to indicate what changes you are making to a bug 'Resolved in Version' - <the unique string decided above in step (1)>, and finally, 'QA Status - Complete'.

NOTE: At the end of a project, most of the bugs that are In QA are likely
LOW or MEDIUM in priority because part of the criteria of a project reaching FCS is for all URGENT, HIGH, and 50% of MEDIUM priority bugs to be verified by QA. Therefore, usually there are not many URGENT or HIGH bugs left to verify at FCS. If there are URGENT or HIGH bugs that are still unverified, it is suggested to assign these to QA engineers for formal verification and not to simply set the 'Verified' field to "No" for these bugs.

"OAR" Bugs (Open at Release)

Change any bugs flagged as "Open at Release" to "Unspecified" so they will be examined for the next project.

General Clean-up

You may also do any general "clean-up" of bugs related to this project. Some such clean-up could be to fix problems where too many bugs were submitted with 'Problem Area' is not specified or where the Bug Priority was not being set properly to the Pre-Alpha/Alpha/Beta/Released value. You may also want to check for inconsistencies that can affect any statistics you or others perform on the bugs for this project.
