The ability to develop or evolve software or software-based systems/services with defined and guaranteed quality in a predictable way is becoming increasingly important. Essential - though not exclusive - prerequisites for this are the ability to model the relevant quality properties appropriately and the capability to perform reliable quality evaluations. Existing approaches for integrated quality modeling and evaluation are typically either narrowly focused or too generic and have proprietary ways for modeling and evaluating quality. This report sketches an approach that assesses quality properties in a uniform way, without losing the ability to build sufficiently detailed customized models for specific quality properties.
