Early Measurement and Improvement of Software Quality
نویسنده
چکیده
This paper combines relevant research in software reliability engineering and software measurement to develop an integrated approach for the early measurement and improvement of software quality. Recent research in these areas is extended 1) to select appropriate software measures based on a formal model, 2) to construct tree-based reliability models for early problem identi cation and quality improvement, and 3) to develop tools to support industrial applications. Initial results applying this approach to several IBM products demonstrated the applicability and e ectiveness of this approach.

Software Measurement for Small and Medium Enterprises
Today many large, medium and small software companies experience difficulties in establishing quality improvement initiatives, although we can observe that unlike large companies, small and medium sized enterprises (SMEs) find it particularly difficult to adapt these quality initiatives. This is further complicated since most software quality initiatives, such as, e.g., CMM and SPICE, primarily...

متن کاملFlexibility: a Key Factor to Testability
Testability is an important software quality factor that is ineffective if it is not available at an early stage in the development life-cycle. It becomes more essential in the case of object oriented design. Flexibility is an important key factor to testability analysis and measurement for delivering high class testable and maintainable software. Flexibility is a criterion of crucial significa...

The objective of this research paper is to study about the software reliability metrics. Reliability is one of the important aspects of any software that cannot be ignored and hard to measure. According to ANSI, “Software Reliability is defined as the probability of failure-free software operation for a specified period of time in a specified environment”. Software Reliability is different from...
