The design of the software quality evaluation method combining CMMISM and ISO/IEC 14598: the context of a small company
نویسندگان
چکیده
Many small software organizations have recognized the need to improve their software product. Evaluating the software product alone seems insufficient since it is known that its quality is largely dependant on the process that is used to create it. Thus, small organizations are asking for evaluation of their software processes and products. The ISO/IEC 14598-5 standard is already used as a methodology basis for evaluating software products. This article explores how it can be combined with the CMMI to produce a methodology that can be tailored for process evaluation in order to improve their software processes. SM: CMMI is a service mark of Carnegie-Mellon University.

Computer-Aided Specification of Quality Models for Machine Translation Evaluation
This article describes the principles and mechanism of an integrative effort in machine translation (MT) evaluation. Building upon previous standardization initiatives, above all ISO/IEC 9126, 14598 and EAGLES, we attempt to classify into a coherent taxonomy most of the characteristics, attributes and metrics that have been proposed for MT evaluation. The main articulation of this flexible fram...

This paper describes some experiences gained from applying ISO/IEC 15504 for software process assessments focusing on process improvement in four small software companies in Brazil. The assessments have been realized in the context of the research project 15504MPE, which aims at the development of a customized assessment method based on the standard ISO/IEC 15504 adapted to small brazilian soft...
متن کاملQuality and usability: A new framework
ISO/IEC 9126 (1991) established a practical way of decomposing software quality into a set of characteristics and subcharacteristics. Reconciling this approach to quality with a new standard for usability (ISO 9241-11) has led to a comprehensive framework for software product quality which is being incorporated in a revision to ISO/IEC 9126. The new framework defines three perspectives: interna...
متن کاملThe FEMTI guidelines for contextual MT evaluation: principles and resources
A large number of evaluation metrics exist for machine translation (MT) systems, but depending on the intended context of use of such a system, not all metrics are equally relevant. Based on the ISO/IEC 9126 and 14598 standards for software evaluation, the Framework for the Evaluation of Machine Translation in ISLE (FEMTI) provides guidelines for the selection of quality characteristics to be e...
متن کاملIncorporating user quality requirements in the software development process
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...
