Researchers have often attempted to raise the success rate of software systems over the past century. Improve software quality models and other software elements to make it more customer satisfaction and achieve customer permanence. Several quality models and variables have been proposed to decrease software system failure and complexity. Also, several software quality models were proposed to assess the general and particular types of software products. These models have been proposed to determine the general or particular scopes of software products. The proposed models evaluate based on comparisons between the well-known models to customize the closed model. These comparisons are the leakage of criteria based on distinct views and knowledge of cultural and social requirements. A new factors proposed by the customize software quality models. The proposed cultural model has eight criterions namely: Language, Religion, social habits, publishing, custom, Ethics, and Law. We classified the new criterions factors into three main groups. The outcome of the proposed cultural model demonstrates that the eight criterions factors must be deemed to decrease the satisfactions of software failure and permanence variables. Finally we proposed a cultural language metric for measuring the satisfactions of software failure and permanence variables.

The enterprise resource planning (ERP) system is a complex and comprehensive software that integrates various enterprise functions and resources. Although ERP systems have been depicted as a solution in many organizations, there are many negative reports on ERP success, benefits, and effect on user performance. Previous research noted that there is a lack of knowledge and awareness of ERP systems and their overall value to ERP organizations. ERP systems have been widely studied during the past decade; yet they often fail to deliver the intended benefits originally expected. One notable reason for their failures is the lack of understanding in user requirements. There are many studies conducted to propose software quality models with their quality characteristics. However, there is currently no dedicated software quality model that can describe usability maturity and involve new features of ERP systems. This chapter proposes a framework for evaluating the usability maturity as a quality attribute of ERP systems.

Software quality models link internal attributes of programs with external quality characteristics. They help in understanding relationships among internal attributes and between internal attributes and quality characteristics. Object-oriented software quality models usually use metrics on classes (such as number of methods) or on relationships between classes (for example coupling) to measure internal attributes of programs. However, the quality of object-oriented programs does not depend on classes solely: it depends on the organisation of classes also. We propose an approach to build quality models using patterns to consider program architectures. We justify the use of patterns to build quality models, describe the advantages and limitations of such an approach, and introduce a first case study in building and in applying a quality model using design patterns on the JHotDraw, JUnit, and Lexi programs. We conclude on the advantages of using patterns to build software quality models and on the difficulty of doing so.

Abstract. Quality that is identified independent of any measurable characteristics is defined as the capability to meet customer expectations, whether the requirements are explicit or not. A recent innovation in the systems area is the development of a set of mechanisms and models for evaluating quality. This article compares the design of a Quality Model with its factors and criteria Different quality models were studied: McCall, Boehm, FURPS,  Dromey, and GEQUAMO in an attempt to identify the aspects present in these models that are deemed important in Software Quality. GEQUAMO software quality model is the best among the models compared, since it can be customizable as per requirement in a dynamic and a flexible way.

Software metric and quality models play a pivotal role in measurement of software quality. A number of well-known quality models and software metrics are used to build quality software in industry. Most developers and majority of software users require some form of measure for the software system they are concerned with. Software quality measurement needs a quality model that is usable throughout the software lifecycle and that it embraces all the perspectives of quality. Software quality factors and attributes that form the quality model is derived from literature review and survey. Using those quality factors and attributes, software quality model for telecommunication industry is constructed by considering three distinctive but connected areas of interest, which are economic dimension, social dimension and technical dimension.

Increasing demand for security commercial products requires an improvement of methods for evaluating their software quality. Existing standards offer general frameworks but more specific models which reflect the perception of experts and customers as well as the particular characteristics of this type of products are needed. This article presents a method for generating domain-oriented software quality models for specific types of applications. It is applied to the generation of a model for security COTS products based on systematic review of standards, related literature and conclusions of evaluation experiences as well as the statistical analysis of information collected from 203 security experts and practitioners. Results reveal interesting conclusions on the importance given by users to the different quality characteristics of security commercial software products.

Software development comprises of processes which can be controlled, managed and improved by software measurement. The efficiency of software measurement is determined by software quality, which assesses the position of any software company in the international economic scenario. This calls for a need to develop quality models which would quantify the various quality parameters. However, these quality parameters are highly vague, by nature, and cannot be easily quantized nor measured. The Boehm’s Model, McCall’s Model, and ISO/IEC 9126 Model are existing quality models made by software quality researchers in this regard. This paper uses the ISO/IEC 9126 quality model as the baseline model, with enhanced criteria, to give a holistic approach to software quality. A methodology is proposed in this paper for comparing different software solutions based on the SRS to a common problem. As software product quality is highly unpredictable, and considering the interaction between the quality criteria, Choquet Integral is used to efficiently compare the set of software products.

Software Quality Models are a structured software product assessment method. With the rising fashion in software production, new applications are being designed and created daily. This inevitably gives an increase to the need to ensure that the product so constructed meets at least the intended expectations. The software engineering literature includes numerous quality models and each software quality model consisting of various quality attributes or factors or characteristics as some models call them. These quality attributes can be viewed from this feature's perspective to describe the software component or product's quality. A real challenge is to identify which Quality Models to use. The following quality models' content will be presented in this paper by the researcher: McCall's Quality Model, Dromey's Quality Model, Boehm's Quality Model, FURPS Quality Model, and ISO 9126.

Just about everything changes, and so should a software quality model in order to provide a better understanding of quality for any software product to which is applied. But how can we develop such a software quality model? A software quality model pattern that can be adapted to different software products, and provide an accurate evaluation of the overall software quality. This paper presents an adaptable software quality model which is intended to be used for the quality evaluation of different software products.
