Specifying Software Quality Requirements via Unification and Quantification of Differing Viewpoints
نویسندگان
چکیده
It is widely accepted that there are differing views; this paper asks whether a framework, incorporating these different viewpoints, can be constructed. These multiple perspectives of quality are a result of the commonly held view that quality is a multi-dimensional entity, with many factors 2. Kitchenham favours the ’fitness for needs’ definition, 3 which is an extension of Juran’s ”fitness for purpose” definition from the 1940s 4, which identifies functionality as the most important quality factor. A developer may view level of functionality as the principal factor for quality whilst a manager may consider cost to be particularly important; however they both may include reliability and usability as contributing to an overall image of quality.

Viewpoints for Specifying Component-Based Systems
There is a conceptual gap between the way we currently articulate requirements and the reuse-driven paradigm embodied in component-based system development. The principal challenge in requirements engineering for component-based systems is to develop models and methods that allow us make the best use of the available component technology by balancing aspects of requirements and business concern...
متن کاملSpecifying Cross-Cutting Requirement Concerns
Addressing non-orthogonal software concerns that arise from requirements can significantly contribute to the complexity of developing large systems. Difficulties arise from the need to: locate related requirements, reason about the software concerns they represent, and analyze the impact of changing requirements. We address these issues through the use of requirements aspects. We present a meth...
