Surveys measuring users’ opinion of software quality serve not only as indications of users’ satisfaction with a software product, but they also permit a more sophisticated degree of analysis required by organisations with higher levels of quality maturity. However, in surveys, some difficulties arise related to the quality of data, the high cost of conducting the survey and the usual revisions...

OBJECTIVE The purpose of this work was to develop an inexpensive phantom for simplified image quality assurance (IQA) together with algorithms for objective evaluation of image quality parameters and to integrate these components into an easy-to-use software package. This should help make quality control of dental cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) units accessible, easy, and affordable for a...

In software project management, there are five basic factors to predict and control, those are size, process, effort, environment and quality. Most of the software engineers focus on these factors to improve the software quality. In practice quality management implies finding defects and rectifying them. Software defects are not well enough understood to provide a clear methodology for avoiding...

The business worth of a computer system is a function of its quality in use – the extent to which it is fitted for its purpose. ISO/IEC 14598-1 (Evaluation of Software Products) places quality in use as the overall goal for software development. The term quality in use recognises that software does not exist in isolation, but must fit with a socio-technological work environment if it is to work...

This paper proposes a specific set of criteria for evaluating discrete-event Simulation Software capable of simulating continuous operations. A quality specifications model was developed; it identified 40 sub-characteristics and 131 metrics to assess the quality of this type of software; it is then to be used in the selection process. The application was demonstrated in one organization that pr...
