A measurement based software quality framework
This addresses the issue of dependency on expert experience in software quality assurance for project teams, though it appears incremental as it builds on existing measurement-based approaches.
The authors tackled the problem of subjective quality assurance in software projects by proposing a measurement-based framework that defines measurable quality goals and thresholds linked to an escalation mechanism, and they reported initial results from a real-life case study.
In this report we propose a solution to problem of the dependency on the experience of the software project quality assurance personnel by providing a transparent, objective and measurement based quality framework. The framework helps the quality assurance experts making objective and comparable decisions in software projects by defining and assessing measurable quality goals and thresholds, directly relating these to an escalation mechanism. First results of applying the proposed measurement based software quality framework in a real life case study are also addressed in this report.
