Software requirements management is a volatile and dynamic process that requires continuous requirements process improvement in order to arrive at adequate requirements. However, there is interdependence amongst the processes themselves that leads to requirements managers‘ inability to achieve satisficed requirements for the intended software system. As a result, several software projects have ...

As software complexity grows and clients demand higher quality software, quality requirements can no longer be considered to be of secondary importance. Thus eliciting, specifying, prioritising and validating quality requirements is a pre-requisite to the development of effective and efficient information systems. Despite the critical importance of quality requirements, there is a considerable ...

traceability is a basic requirement for the most of products from the viewpoint of governments and customers. it has base of quality systems and supports integration of supply chain information systems. this paper has presented a holistic model for supply chain traceability through structural equation modeling. this model will support recall of products, quality assurance requirements, improve ...

Software Quality Engineering is an emerging discipline that is concerned with improving the approach to software quality. It is important that this discipline be firmly rooted in a quality model satisfying its needs. In order to define the needs of this discipline, the meaning of quality is broadly defined by reviewing the literature on the subject. Software Quality Engineering needs a quality ...

Producing data of known quality is an essential operation of mapping agencies such as Ordnance Survey. For these data to be of value to our customers, we need to understand what quality measures will allow them to assess whether the data are fit for their purpose. In the case of 3-dimensional (3D) data, this is particularly important as it will inform research into capturing and modelling these...

Although quality issues such as accuracy, security, and performance are often crucial to the success of a software system, there has been no systematic way to achieve quality requirements during system development. We offer a framework and an implemented tool which treat quality requirements as goals to be achieved systematically during the system development process. We illustrate the process ...
