Abstract:
he EMI Quality Model has been created to define, and later review, the EMI
(European Middleware Initiative) software product and process quality. A quality model is
based on a set of software quality metrics and helps to set clear and measurable quality goals
for software products and processes. The EMI Quality Model follows the ISO/IEC 9126
Software Engineering
–
Product Quality to identify a set of characteristics that need to be
present in the EMI software. For each software characteristic, such as portability,
maintainability, compliance, etc, a set of associated metrics and KPIs (Key Performance
Indicators) are identified. This article presents how the EMI Quality Model and the EMI
Metrics have been defined in the context of the software quality assurance activities carried out
in EMI. It also describes the measurement plan and presents some of the metrics reports that
have been produced for the EMI releases and updates. It also covers which tools and
techniques can be used by any software project to extract “code metrics” on the status of the
software products and “process metrics” related to the quality of the development and support
process such as reaction time to critical bugs, requirements tracking and delays in product
releases
