Software quality is the "capability of a software product to conform to requirements." [36] [37] while for others it can be synonymous with customer- or value-creation [38] [39] or even defect level. [40]
Software Quality Management (SQM) is a management process that aims to develop and manage the quality of software in such a way so as to best ensure that the product meets the quality standards expected by the customer while also meeting any necessary regulatory and developer requirements, if any.
Software quality assurance (SQA) is a means and practice of monitoring all software engineering processes, methods, and work products to ensure compliance against defined standards. [1] It may include ensuring conformance to standards or models, such as ISO/IEC 9126 (now superseded by ISO 25010), SPICE or CMMI .
Software quality control is the set of procedures used by organizations [1] to ensure that a software product will meet its quality goals at the best value to the customer, [2] and to continually improve the organization’s ability to produce software products in the future.
Functionality, usability, reliability, performance and supportability are together referred to as FURPS in relation to software requirements. Agility in working software is an aggregation of seven architecturally sensitive attributes: debuggability, extensibility, portability, scalability, securability, testability and understandability.
Independent Software Verification and Validation (ISVV) is targeted at safety-critical software systems and aims to increase the quality of software products, thereby reducing risks and costs throughout the operational life of the software. The goal of ISVV is to provide assurance that software performs to the specified level of confidence and ...
ISO/IEC 9126 Software engineering — Product quality was an international standard for the evaluation of software quality.It has been replaced by ISO/IEC 25010:2011. [1]The quality criteria according to ISO 9126
Software safety (sometimes called software system safety) is an engineering discipline that aims to ensure that software, which is used in safety-related systems (i.e. safety-related software), does not contribute to any hazards such a system might pose. There are numerous standards that govern the way how safety-related software should be ...
