Software Quality Engineering: Making It Happen
Witold Suryn · 2014
Software quality engineering calls for a formal management of quality throughout the full lifecycle of software or a system. Several quality models were developed in the course of past three decades, some of them recognized mostly by the scientific community, others also gaining recognition within the industry. This chapter presents the most widely known models of McCall, Boehm, Dromey, ISO/IEC 9126, and ISO/IEC 25010. In software quality engineering, measurement is a pivotal concept. The evaluation of software product quality is important to both the acquisition and development of software. Quality design depends on requirements and their completeness, feasibility, and quality. The chapter analyzes conflicts that can appear within the basic change control process of a software project. The chapter presents four diagrams that help the potential user of Software Quality Implementation Model (SQIM) to map this model to a development process of the most popular choice.
