An Approach for Collaborative Quality Assessment of Software
Alpana Dubey, Dhivya Muthukrishnan · 2016
Software quality assessment is an important activity done during software development. Quality assessment varies based on needs. For example, security focused quality assessment looks for security specific issues and performance focused assessment looks for performance issues in software. The above focus is mainly driven by the type of software being developed. Moreover, metrics for measuring software quality may vary from team to team. This makes the reuse of assessment models very challenging. Especially when metrics are defined based on the warning data, such as warnings, coming from different types of warning data sources and there is no uniform nomenclature and classification of warning data. In this paper, we propose a collaborative quality assessment approach. The approach is based on users contributing to software quality assessment models on a centralized quality assessment platform which is available to other users for customization and reuse. The proposed approach helps in creating a reusable knowledgebase of assessment models.
