Description of the Book:

The thrust of this effort was to examine the software quality methodology and determine what improvements were necessary to improve utility of this technology. Rome Laboratory has been working in the area of software quality since the earlier 70’s. The goal of the framework was to provide program managers a quantitative method for gaining insight into the quality of their software products (i.e. software requirements specification, preliminary design, detailed design, coding). This effort identified short falls in the methodology due to technology advances and the need to make enhancements. Safety is one area the software quality framework does not support or address. This effort identified new quality factors that would be needed to address safety and software quality issues. Factors, criteria definitions, and metric element questions from the software quality model were reviewed within the context of defining safety. Object oriented technology (OOT) was also examined to determine what should be added to the framework.

New software developments are using object oriented design and to take advantage of this technology the framework needs to be updated. Seven software quality factors and ten software criteria were identified as being impacted by the use of object oriented technology
