Fifth International Workshop on System Quality and Maintainability

The fifth international workshop on Software Quality and Maintainability (SQM 2011) offered a forum to researchers to present their original work and to practitioners to relate their experiences on issues pertaining to software quality and maintainability. Moreover, the theme of the workshop invited discussion on how to bridge the gap between end user expectations, business requirements, vendor performance, and engineering constraints regarding software quality. SQM 2011 was held as a satellite event of the 15th European Conference on Software Maintenance and Reengineering (CSMR 2011). In 2010, the fourth SQM workshop was held as a satellite event of CSMR 2010. In this volume, you will find the articles accepted for presentation at the workshop. Out of 8 full-paper submissions, 6 papers were selected. The accepted papers will be published at CEUR-WS1.
