Selecting Internal Quality Metrics by Software Integrity Level

소프트에어 무결성 수준에 따른 내부품질 척도의 선정

  • Published : 2000.12.01

Abstract

ISO/IEC 14598-4(소프트웨어 제품의 구매자 평가 지침)는 소프트웨어 평가에서 무결성 수준의 중요성을 전제로 품질특성의 우선순위를 제시하고 있다. 그러나 이러한 제시는 현실에 적용한 것이 없는 이론적인 것이다. 본 연구에서는 ISO/IEC 14598-4에서 제시한 무결성 수준에 따른 품질특성의 중요도가 타당성이 있는지를 실증하였다. 중요도 산출을 위해 15명을 면담 조사하였으며, 이는 중요도 계산을 위한 AHP를 활용하기에 충분한 표본의 개수이다. 본 연구결과와 ISO/IEC 14598-4에서 제시한 품질특성의 중요도 순위는 일부가 상이하게 나타났다. 또한 척도를 이용한 소프트웨어 품질경영을 시작할 때 통상적으로 권고되는 척도의 수 범위(최소 4개~최대 8개) 내에서 무결성 수준에 관계없이 동일한 척도가 선정되었다.
