This article describes how software quality engineering is an inevitable activity, which must be accomplished during software development process in order to avoid software failures and ensuring its quality. Embedded systems are computer platforms, which require high quality software. Many researchers interested in embedded systems have demonstrated that the quality of the embedded software has a significant effect on the performances of the entire system. In the literature, several works have been emerged from this line of research. The aim of this article is to present a survey of the most important works, which deal with embedded software quality engineering. A comparative study is also given in order to show strengths and weaknesses of each work.

This chapter introduces the open source software development process from a software quality perspective. It uses the attributes of software quality in a formal model and attempts to map them onto the principles of the open source process. Many stages of the open source process appear to have an ad-hoc approach. Although open source is not considered to be a formal methodology for software development, it has resulted in the development of very high quality software, both in the consumer and in the enterprise space. In this chapter, we hope to understand the open source process itself, and apply it to other methodologies in order to achieve better software quality. Additionally, this chapter will help in understanding the “Wild West” nature of open source and what it may hold for us in the future.

Embedded systems are increasingly used in our daily life due to their importance. They are computer platforms consisting of hardware and software. They run specific tasks to realize functional and non functional requirements. Several specific quality attributes were identified as relevant to the embedded system domain. However, the existent general quality models do not address clearly these specific quality attributes. Hence, the proposition of quality models which address the relevant quality attributes of embedded systems needs more attention and investigation. The major goal of this paper is to propose a new quality model (called ESQuMo for Embedded Software Quality Model) which provides a better understanding of quality in the context of embedded software. Besides, it focuses the light on the relevant attributes of the embedded software and addresses clearly the importance of these attributes. In fact, ESQuMo is based on the well-established ISO/IEC 25010 standard quality model.

The need for information systems is increasing every year. The information system of an organization or company is useful for managing data to produce useful and effective information that supports activities and all levels of management that use it. The aspect of software quality is one of the important things in the development of a software. To determine the quality of software products, a measurement is needed. IBSI Education, one of which is a Tutoring Institution that uses “SiWeSi” to support administration, view schedules, see student progress, and so on. The success of the software that is built is based on whether or not the software works according to the objectives to be achieved. In the scientific concept of software engineering, the success of software is not only seen from the suitability of the resulting product to existing needs. The success of the software is also seen from the software development process. This study uses the McCall quality model because this method fulfills many components of the assessment and looks at quality from the user's point of view. The quality model used to measure the quality of SIWESI is determined from the results of the literature study.

Software has become the core of organizations in different domains because the capacity of their products, systems, and services have an increasing dependence on software. This fact highlights the research challenges to be covered by computer science, especially in the software engineering (SE) area. On the one way, SE is in charge of covering all the aspects related to the software development process from the early stages of software development until its maintenance and therefore is closely related to the software quality. On the other hand, SE is in charge of providing engineers able to provide technological-base solutions to solve industrial problems. This chapter provides a research work path focused on helping software development organizations to change to a continuous software improvement culture impacting both their software development process highlighting the human factor training needs. Results show that the implementation of best practices could be easily implemented if adequate support is provided.

As the rapid development of social informatization, software reliability and security are highly required. Only applying high-quality software products can increase work efficiency. Quality is the life of software. How to enhance the quality of software products and how to use effective quality management method is an urgent need. This paper discuss the key point of software engineering and software quality management, and this is the basis of software quality ensurance model.
