Abstract-Software measurement is a key factor in managing, controlling, and improving the software development processes. Software quality is one of the most important factors for assessing the global competitive position of any software company. Thus the quantification of quality parameters and integrating them into quality models is very essential. Software quality criteria are not very easily measured and quantified. Many attempts have been made to exactly quantify the software quality parameters using various models such as ISO/IEC 9126 Quality Model, Boehm's Model, McCall's model, etc. In this paper an attempt has been made to provide a tool for precisely quantifying software quality factors with the help of quality factors stated in ISO/IEC 9126 model. Due to the unpredictable nature of the software quality attributes, the fuzzy multi criteria approach has been used to evolve the quality of the software.

“…On the other hand, Kanellopoulos et al, proposed a methodology for source code quality and static behaviour evaluation of a software system, based on the standard ISO/IEC-9126. It uses elements automatically derived from source code enhanced with expert knowledge in the form of quality characteristic rankings [21].…”

“…Furthermore, the tool can quantify size and complexity properties for both C++ and VB source code. During evolution, measures of these properties are most likely to increase (Lehman, 1980) and this can have an impact on quality as the software can become more fault-prone and more difficult to maintain (Singh et al, 2009;Kanellopoulos et al, 2010). Furthermore, measures of size and complexity show more consistent links with external quality attributes than measures of other properties, such as measures for inheritance (Briand and Wüst, 2002;Singh et al, 2010;Jabangwe et al, 2013).…”

Handover of managerial responsibilities in global software development: a case study of source code evolution and quality

Context: Studies report on the negative effect on quality in global software development (GSD) due to communication and coordination related challenges. However, empirical studies reporting on the magnitude of the effect are scarce. Research Method: This paper presents findings from an embedded explanatory case study on the change in quality over time, across multiple releases, for products that were developed in a GSD setting. The GSD setting involved periods of distributed development between geographically dispersed sites as well as a handover of project management responsibilities between the involved sites. Investigations were performed on two medium-sized products from a company that is part of a large multinational corporation. Quality is investigated quantitatively using defect data, and measures that quantify two source code properties, size and complexity. Observations were triangulated with subjective views from company representatives. Results and Findings: There were no observable indications that the distribution of work or handover of project management responsibilities had an impact on quality on both products. Among the product-, process-, and people-related success factors, we identified welldesigned product architectures, early handover planning, support from the sending site to the receiving site after the handover, and skilled employees at the involved sites. Overall, these results can be useful input for decision-makers who are considering distributing development work between globally dispersed sites or handing over project management responsibilities from one site to another. Moreover, our study shows that analyzing the evolution of size and complexity properties of a product's source code can provide valuable information to support decision-making during similar projects. Finally, the strategy used by the company to relocate responsibilities can also be considered as an alternative for software transfers, which have been linked with a decline in efficiency, productivity and quality.
