Tool Support for User-Defined Quality Assessment Models
Holger Schackmann, Martin Jansen, Horst Lichter · RWTH Publications (RWTH Aachen) · 2009
Quality assessment based on software metrics is generally founded on an implicitly or explicitly given quality model, that defines how measurement values are aggregated.The quality model itself is often buried in the supporting tools, which limits adaptability and understandability of the quality model.In this paper we introduce a generic meta-model for quality assessment models that support metric-based quality evaluations.Furthermore we present a corresponding tool for the definition of quality models by the user, and their automatic evaluation based on underlying third-party metric tools.
