Software Quality model Analysis Program

It is vital that data is obtained so that actions can be taken to improve the performance. Such improvement can be measured in terms of improved quality, increased customer satisfaction and decreased cost of quality. Different researchers have proposed software quality models to help measure the quality of software products. These models often include metrics for this purpose. Some of the classical and recent models are discussed and analyzed in this paper showing the points of strength and weakness of each model type. A new comprehensive model is proposed and analyzed. A complete solution is discussed through the paper to enable an effective and efficient use of the proposed model to help the development team in prioritizing the important metrics while developing the software products according to some inputs from the user and the objectives of the software being developed. The solution developed is called the quality model analysis program (QAP) and is a fuzzy system that weights the proposed model attributes according to certain rules. The solution enables software project managers to better utilize their resources and take specific actions to better improve the quality of the software produced.
