SOFTWARE QUALITY MEASUREMENT BASED ON SQUARE STANDARDS

Abstract

Quality is one of the factors that ensure the commercial success and safety of software use. Quality means compliance with the explicit and implicit requirements of various stakeholders. A common understanding between developers and users must be ensured, and engineers must understand the meaning of quality, the characteristics, and the importance of quality for the developed or maintained software. The basis of quality assurance is measurement. They are the main tool for managing the life cycle of software products, evaluating the implementation of plans and monitoring. To quantify quality, it is necessary to measure the characteristics of the software. Standardization involves the unification of quality requirements, its measurement and evaluation. The use of standards provides many potential benefits for any organization, especially in such key areas as measuring the quality of software products, information and measurement systems. Recognized international standardization organizations have published the ISO/IEC 25000 se ries of standards on requirements and quality assessment of SQuaRE systems and software, which is gaining wide practical application. The article discusses the SQuaRE series of international standards, analyzes the relationship between the quality model, q uality characteristics, quality indicators and a new concept - the software quality measure element, and presents quality measurement based on these standards.
