Single Quality Model in Software Life Cycle
Authors: ,
Abstract: The article deals with the problems associated with quality definition and assessment for software development processes, intermediate and end products throughout the entire software life cycle. The main objective of the research is to develop measures to improve software quality. It is known that it is not possible to develop a software which is free from problems. Therefore methods and techniques of software quality improvement are still being developed intensively. Our work is based on years of experience in IT companies and higher education institution. In the information technology sector a lot of attention has been paid to Software Quality Assurance. Our experience has led to the hypothesis that software quality model can be generalized and applied to description and evaluation of quality in a wider area, including quality of the processes. The extended software product quality life cycle is offered including the study process, because during it the future IT professionals acquire their basic knowledge. When starting any quality evaluation activity, at first it is necessary for all stakeholders to agree on a definition of quality. In our work a single quality model and its application procedure has been developed based on quality model defined in standard ISO / IEC 9126.
