Question No. 2. (Marks 3.5)
Write a short note on the quality of the software and the possible ways for the improvement of software quality.
This question will be rewarded on the basis of quality of research and the writing (contents, grammar, spelling, formatting).
Software quality
Software quality is defined as the attributes of software fulfilled while designing the software that is maintaining its cost, user requirements/expectations, proper working and functionality of software, time to build a product, to make a bug free software.
Attributes of software quality
The quality of software depends on various attributes:
Design
Functionality
Performance
Consistency
Maintainability
Cost
Improvement of software quality
To improve software quality, various processes needs to be maintained:
• There should be proper planning for the project development to achieve good quality.
• Inspections and reviews must be conducted while the product is being developed.
• Defects in the product must be identified and removed before software deployment.
• Fixing the defects will lead to low budget.
