Specification of Software Quality Attributes. Volume 1. Final Report.

Abstract

This document is the first of three volumes of the Final Technical Report for the Specification of Software Quality Attributes contract. The purpose of this contract was to (1) consolidate results of previous RADC contracts dealing with software quality measurement, (2) enhance the software quality framework, and (3) develop a methodology to enable a software acquisition manager to determine and specify software quality factor requirements. The methodology and framework elements was developed to focus on an Air Force software acquisition manager specifying quality requirements for embedded software that is part of a command and control application. This methodology and most of the framework elements are generally useful for other applications and different environments. Volume I describes the results of research efforts conducted under this contract, including recommendations for integrating quality metrics technology into the Air Force software acquisition management process, recommended changes to Air Force software and acquisition documentation, and summaries of software quality framework changes and specification methodology features.
