Goal-oriented adaptation of software quality models

Objectively measuring and evaluating software quality has become a fundamental task. Many models support software product quality stakeholders in dealing with software quality. In this contribution, we present an approach for adapting software quality models and the challenges that emerge in this regard. We propose an adaptation process based on the use of a core quality model and on the existence of a meta-model that provides an essential structure for the base and for the derived adapted models. We show different solution ideas for obtaining a correct adapted quality model and performing goaloriented, efficient adaptation.
