An understanding of quality attributes is relevant for the software organization to deliver high software reliability. An empirical assessment of metrics to predict the quality attributes is essential in order to gain insight about the quality of software in the early phases of software development and to ensure corrective actions. In this paper, we predict a model to estimate fault proneness u...

Selecting a Geographic Information System (GIS) based on Free Software (FS) is a difficult task vis-à-vis its technological complexity, the wide range of this type of systems and their functionalities. Therefore, provides a set of quality characteristics used to evaluate FS-GIS. This set of characteristics is presented on the product perspective of the Systemic Software Quality Model (MOSCA), w...

In the given paper I present the information regarding quality metrics. Different quality factors can be imposing with relation to cost, schedule and rework. It’s very important to make quality assurance plans. For that you have to cover many milestones which can be represented in time sheets. The main characteristics of the quality models have covered in this paper.

This paper contains two sections relating to software quality issues. First, the various definitions of software quality are examined and an alternative suggested. It continues with a review of the quality model as defined by McCall, Richards and Walters in 1977 and mentions the later model of Boëhm published in 1978. Each of McCall's quality factors is reviewed and the extent to which they sti...

Software Requirements Specifications (SRS) or software requirements are basically an organization’s interpretation of a customer’s system requirements and dependencies at a given point in time. Basically, good quality SRS will lead to good quality software product. It is widely known that companies pay much less to fix problems or defects that are found very early in any software development li...

This paper outlines some key elements of quality system standards ISO 9000 and their application to Information Technology and software development. Emphasis is put on the need for closed feedback loops in the organization which will provide a stable framework for effective quality management. Application of the generic ISO 9000 standards to software development has to take into account the spe...

The paper highlights some evaluation methods to assess the quality characteristics of the text entities. The main concepts used in building and evaluation processes of the text entities are presented. Also, some aggregated metrics for orthogonality measurements are presented. The evaluation process for automatic evaluation of the text entities is made by software application. These ones impleme...

There are several software process models and methodologies such as waterfall, spiral and agile. Even so, the rate of successful software development projects is low. Since software is the major output of software processes, increasing software process management quality should increase the project’s chances of success. Organizations have invested to adapt software processes to their environmen...
