Factors of software quality - analysis of extended ISBSG dataset
Łukasz Radliński · 2011
Abstract. In this paper, we analyze the extended ISBSG dataset, which contains data on a wide range of software projects developed in various companies worldwide. The main aim of this paper is to identify important factors that influence software quality and to investigate the nature of these relationships. This analysis involves using various statistical techniques, both analytical and graphical. We provide a rating for each variable to express the strength of its relationship with software quality. Unlike earlier analyses, we focus on the business perspective and its relationships on software quality. Obtained results may be used do support decision making in software projects, specifically by demonstrating the impact of selected software development practices.
