Abstract
This study aimed to improve the software quality in weapon systems by applying ISO/IEC 25023 to the software engineering process. The software engineering process in weapon systems manages the Software Quality Requirement but has restrictively improved the software quality. Software quality items are already defined and used for software engineering processes in weapon systems, but they are defined inconsistently according to individual software development cases. Thus, the methods of quantifying software quality are different, even though the same software quality is defined. In addition, the software quality has been managed differently. The major problems of software engineering processes in weapon systems are the unclear definition of the software quality requirements and the absence of quantifying software quality standards. ISO/IEC 25023 is composed of eight quality characteristics and thirty-one sub-characteristics. ISO/IEC 25023 provides measurement functions that can quantify the software product quality based on its characteristics. To improve the software quality further, the measurement functions in ISO/IEC 25023 are suggested to quantify and manage software quality for software engineering processes in weapon systems. The expected effects of this study were analyzed.
