Titel
Balancing upfront definition and customization of quality models
Abstract
The selection and customization of quality models for the development of software systems or software-intensive systems and services is a challenging task. Due to the nature of software development, quality models such as reliability models or defect models need to be adapted to specific project goals and environment characteristics. Currently, there is a tremendous deficit in understanding the selection and customization of appropriate quality models. Quality models that balance upfront definition and customization are widely missing. This article describes two types of quality models, i.e., fixed models and define-your-own models, gives an initial overview of possible variabilities in quality models, and finally sketches elements for the definition of balanced quality models.
