Abstract
In the present age of rapid progress in software conversion, software quality judgment is one of important challenges. In this paper, Software quality judgment method for waterfall model development is proposed. Four techniques are applied for this purpose: quantitative data analysis, defect root-cause analysis, and assessment of specification and software.
For accurate software quality judgment, it is necessary to evaluate both process quality and product quality. Quantitative data analysis and defect root-cause analysis are used for process quality evaluation. Assessment of specification and software are used for product quality evaluation. The software quality is judged by integrating these analysis results. This proposal is a technique cultivated for many years at NEC Corporation and has a proven track record.
