Publisher's Synopsis
The importance of measuring software quality is being increasingly recognized. Poor quality software can incur considerable expense and, at worst, cause total system collapse. It is essential that software developers and other professionals and managers involved in ensuring software reliability, are acquainted with techniques for measuring software quality.;This book explores whether objective means exist for measuring and evaluating software quality. Readers are encouraged to refer to particular parts of the book that focus on specific interests. It is emphasized that everyone involved with software systems should consider their own quality requirements and decide which are the most important. A proposed quality model (the MQ model developed by NCC and GMD) is represented as a framework within which the more detailed attributes and product properties can be located.
