The Assistant for Specifying the Quality Software (ASQS) User's Manual. Volume 2
Abstract
The ASOS, (The Assistant for Specifying the Quality of Software) a knowledge base software tool, assists software acquisition managers which specify software quality requirements. In the consultation mode, questions are presented to the acquisition manager in terms related to the mission area of interest. Answers are transformed by ASQS into tailored quantitative quality goals based on the thirteen software quality factors of RADC software quality framework. The current version supports the Intelligence and Satellite mission areas. ASQS serves the purpose of transitioning the software quality specification methodology found in the RADC final report RADC-TR-85-37, Vol II (of three), Specification of Software Quality Attributes - Software Quality Specification Guidebook, into use in the DOD acquisition process. In so doing, it reduces the amount of time and the expertise required to specify meaningful software quality goals. It bridges the gap between software quality concepts and terminology and the system needs and terminology understood by the acquisition manager. (Author) (kr)
