Abstract

Specification and design have a decisive influence over the quality of software systems. The article is based on a classification of design aspects. Design decisions that determine the design and specification products are derived by a selection process according to the functional specification and a set of non-functional constraints. The techniques of a CASE tool as a constructive approach and those of software metrics as an analytic approach have been combined to support quality management early in the development process
