Using the ISO/IEC 9126 product quality model to classify defects: A controlled experiment
نویسندگان
چکیده
Background: Existing software defect classification schemes support multiple tasks, such as root cause analysis and process improvement guidance. However, existing schemes do not assist in assigning defects to a broad range of high level software goals, such as software quality characteristics like functionality, maintainability, and usability. Aim: We investigate whether a classification based on the ISO/IEC 9126 software product quality model is reliable and useful to link defects to quality aspects impacted. Method: Six different subjects, divided in two groups with respect to their expertise, classified 78 defects from an industrial web application using the ISO/IEC 9126 quality main characteristics and sub-characteristics, and a set of proposed extended guidelines. Results: The ISO/IEC 9126 model is reasonably reliable when used to classify defects, even using incomplete defect reports. Reliability and variability is better for the six high level main characteristics of the model than for the 22 sub-

متن کاملQuality and usability: A new framework
ISO/IEC 9126 (1991) established a practical way of decomposing software quality into a set of characteristics and subcharacteristics. Reconciling this approach to quality with a new standard for usability (ISO 9241-11) has led to a comprehensive framework for software product quality which is being incorporated in a revision to ISO/IEC 9126. The new framework defines three perspectives: interna...
متن کاملEvaluation of Software Quality using Choquet Integral Approach
Software development comprises of processes which can be controlled, managed and improved by software measurement. The efficiency of software measurement is determined by software quality, which assesses the position of any software company in the international economic scenario. This calls for a need to develop quality models which would quantify the various quality parameters. However, these ...
متن کاملTest software quality issues and connections to international standards
This paper examines how ISO/IEC 9126-1 and ISO/IEC 25010 quality models can be applied to software testing products in industrial environment. We present a set of code smells for test systems written in TTCN-3 and their categorization according to quality model standards. We demonstrate our measurements on industrial and ETSI projects, and provide a method for estimating their effects on produc...
متن کاملUsing Wqm for Classifying Usability Metrics
Quality is an essential characteristic for web success. Several authors have described different methodologies, guidelines, techniques and tools in order to assure the quality of web sites. Among them the WQM model (Web Quality Model), which distinguishes three dimensions related to web features, lifecycle processes and quality characteristics. This last dimension is based on the ISO 9126 stand...
