Open Source Software has over 60 percent of application software development but previous studies of objective quality model and characteristic to utilize Open Source Software appeared to be low and there are few studies regarding quantitative evaluation methods to evaluate Open Source Software. To solve these problems, in this paper, we propose a quality evaluation model, "Logical Open Source Software quality model", which is able to utilize for developing and maintaining application software and quantitative quality evaluation method that can utilize in the proposed model. The proposed Open Source Software quality model derives quality characteristics based on literature and it forms six main-features and twelve sub-characteristics by comparing with the quality characteristic of ISO/IEC 9126 and twelve evaluation metrics that can measure the metrics and the characteristics quantitatively. To verify efficiency of the proposed quality evaluation model, we apply the proposed quality evaluation to top 5 project management system (PMS) software in open source software community and prove its availability.

Viewpoint about the quality of software is various. But, from the end-user point of view, user interface of software may be all to express the quality of software. But the detailed evaluation criteria were not established about usability evaluation method based on user interface so far, though user interface of software is the main object of usability quality characteristics. In this paper, we established a system about the method extracting and evaluating some quality characteristics elements measurable form user interface of software by analyzing the relationship between the elements constructing quality characteristics and user interface related to quality evaluation of software. We expect that this result of study will be a fundamental study adapting and evaluating to various types of user interface.

This paper presents the interrelationship chart between software quality characteristics and engineering attributes. The software quality characteristics and their subcharacteristics are excerpted front IS0/1EC 9126 standards, and the engineering attributes are from Deutsch and Willis[4]. Based on the previous studies and subjective judgement, trisected interrelationship(strong, medium, weak) between these two groups are derived. The results are summarized in a table, and can be used as a quick reference guide to the software quality engineering applications such as quality evaluations for software products, selection of key engineering attributes for high-quality software production, and so forth.

This study is to study a method of applying weights for quality characteristics in software test evaluation. The weight application method analyzes the text of the test report and uses the ratio according to the frequency of the text as a weight for the quality characteristics of the software test score. The feasibility review of the results of this study was conducted by comparing the results of the questionnaire survey, which made the developers and users to evaluate the importance of software, and the results of the frequency analysis of text analysis. When measuring quality based on the eight quality characteristics presented in ISO/IEC 25023, the result of this study is the software quality measurement result considering software characteristics, whereas the result of this study is the software quality measurement result by applying the same weight when measuring quality.

As the proportion of software in weapon systems increases, the impact of software on the overall system is growing. As a result, software quality management becomes important, and related regulations and work manuals for quality assurance activities at each stage in the R & D process are becoming more sophisticated. However, due to the characteristics of the weapon system software that is developed as a customized form for the purpose of a specific mission, there are limits to specifying and definitizing the detailed requirements (upper and lower level) according to various operational concepts during the development process. Due to this, software modification (patch change, shape change due to upgrade, etc.) occurs on account of many defects and performance improvement in the mass production and operation stage after the development is completed. In this study, we analyze the characteristics of these weapon system softwares and propose quality improvement methods based on ISO / IEC / IEEE 29119 test method.

This study aimed to improve the software quality in weapon systems by applying ISO/IEC 25023 to the software engineering process. The software engineering process in weapon systems manages the Software Quality Requirement but has restrictively improved the software quality. Software quality items are already defined and used for software engineering processes in weapon systems, but they are defined inconsistently according to individual software development cases. Thus, the methods of quantifying software quality are different, even though the same software quality is defined. In addition, the software quality has been managed differently. The major problems of software engineering processes in weapon systems are the unclear definition of the software quality requirements and the absence of quantifying software quality standards. ISO/IEC 25023 is composed of eight quality characteristics and thirty-one sub-characteristics. ISO/IEC 25023 provides measurement functions that can quantify the software product quality based on its characteristics. To improve the software quality further, the measurement functions in ISO/IEC 25023 are suggested to quantify and manage software quality for software engineering processes in weapon systems. The expected effects of this study were analyzed.

As the size and complexity of software increases, it is important to ensure the quality of software through testing. Many organizations refer to international standards or test process models to improve the quality of software through establishing a systematic test process. However, these standards and process models provide general processes that do not reflect the characteristics of the domain or the organization's test policies and strategies. To establish a test process that reflects the characteristics of the organization, test policies and strategies based on the organization's quality objectives and the organizational and domain characteristics should be reflected. This study proposes specific methods for eliciting activities and information to establish organizational software test policies and strategies that are essential to establishing a test process that reflects the characteristics of the organization and the system.

An understanding of quality attributes is relevant for the software organization to deliver high software reliability. An empirical assessment of metrics to predict the quality attributes is essential in order to gain insight about the quality of software in the early phases of software development and to ensure corrective actions. In this paper, we predict a model to estimate fault proneness using Object Oriented CK metrics and QMOOD metrics. We apply one statistical method and six machine learning methods to predict the models. The proposed models are validated using dataset collected from Open Source software. The results are analyzed using Area Under the Curve (AUC) obtained from Receiver Operating Characteristics (ROC) analysis. The results show that the model predicted using the random forest and bagging methods outperformed all the other models. Hence, based on these results it is reasonable to claim that quality models have a significant relevance with Object Oriented metrics and that machine learning methods have a comparable performance with statistical methods.

This paper is very exploratory and addresses the issue 'Is a general quality model of software possible?'. If possible, how specific can/should it be?' ISO 25000 Series SQuaRE is generally regarded as a general quality model which can be applied to most kinds of software. Usability is one of the 8 characteristics of SQuaRE's Product Quality Model. It is the main issue associated with SQuaRE's Quality in Use Model too. it is the most important concept associated software quality since using is the only ultimate goal of software products. Playability, however, is generally regarded as a special type of usability, which can be applied to game software. This common idea contradicts with the idea that SQuaRE is valid for most kinds, at least many kinds, of software. The empirical evidences of this paper show that SQuaRE is too specific to be a general quality model of software.
