  • In this paper, software activity, software activity instance, and the quality of the activity instance are defined as the 'activity which is performed on the software product by a person or a group of persons,' the 'distinctive and individual performance of software activity,' and the 'performer's evaluation on how good or bad his/her own activity instance is,' respectively. The representative values of the instance quality population associated with a product and its sub-population are defined as the (software) activity quality and activity quality characteristic of the product, respectively. The activity quality model in this paper classifies activity quality characteristics according to the classification hierarchy of software activity by the goal. In the model, a quality characteristic can have two types of sub-characteristics : Special sub-characteristic and component sub-characteristic, where the former is its super-characteristic too simultaneously and the latter is not its super-characteristic but a part of its super-characteristic. The activity quality model is parsimonious, coherent, and easy to understand and use. The activity quality model can serve as a corner stone on which a software quality body of knowledge, which constituted with a set of models parsimonious, coherent, and easy to understand and use and the theories explaining the cause-and-relationships among the models, can be built. The body of knowledge can be called the (grand) activity-centric quality model of software.

  • Game software is tremendous popularity in inside and outside of the country, so it rises market value. Therefore, it is important to study for the evaluation models of game software. In a general way, I think that ISO/IEC 9126 is the international standard of the software quality testing. Especially, game software quality has been more important on users and developers, so we need the compliance testing model of the game software. In this paper, we evaluate the game software quality objectively and quantitatively, we propose the software quality metrics of testing. Also, we propose the evaluation model of game software on the basis of international standard ISO/IEC 9126, six quality characteristic point of view. That is functionality, reliability, usability, efficiency, portability, and maintainability.

  • Open Source Software has over 60 percent of application software development but previous studies of objective quality model and characteristic to utilize Open Source Software appeared to be low and there are few studies regarding quantitative evaluation methods to evaluate Open Source Software. To solve these problems, in this paper, we propose a quality evaluation model, "Logical Open Source Software quality model", which is able to utilize for developing and maintaining application software and quantitative quality evaluation method that can utilize in the proposed model. The proposed Open Source Software quality model derives quality characteristics based on literature and it forms six main-features and twelve sub-characteristics by comparing with the quality characteristic of ISO/IEC 9126 and twelve evaluation metrics that can measure the metrics and the characteristics quantitatively. To verify efficiency of the proposed quality evaluation model, we apply the proposed quality evaluation to top 5 project management system (PMS) software in open source software community and prove its availability.

  • Recently, the progress of smart phone market has retarded by oversupply therefore wearable computer has been the focus of new growth engine. Wearable computing system is a complex fusion of a variety of technologies such as wireless network, embedded, sensor and new material. Because these technologies involves utilization and mobility in addition to quality characteristic in existing software, application of ISO/IEC 9126 is not perfect when assessing quality of wearable computer. In this study, author suggested new quality assessment model for wearable computer by sorting quality attribute in ISO/IEC 9126 and adding new quality attribute. For this, author investigated features and functional requirements related to wearable computer. and then author suggested quality standard and metrics by identifying quality characteristic. Author confirmed practicality of quality assessment model by using suggested model in scenario and comparing quality assessment of three goods such as company S, L, G. This quality assessment model is expected to use guidelines for assessing quality of wearable computer.

  • In this paper, we propose a method for estimation software quality in terms of software test data, and it is necessary to predict the period of time required for software test evaluation. We need a model to understand of estimation of software quality. In this paper, we propose a model to estimate the number of days for software test using the data obtained through the tester's sex, and present a model for analysing the number of errors according to six quality characteristics by software type.

  • Many people are interesting software quality. Because of, we depend on software in our life. In terms of, I think, good software is a good quality software. So, when we develop the software, we need trying to improve software quality. In this paper, we analyze software test data. We emphasize that software quality is very important in our life. We use software experimental data, in order to analyze of software quality. On the basis of ISO/IEC 9126-2, we classify the test data and we analyze the difference of error frequency according to functionality, reliability, usability, efficiency, maintainability, portability. We analyze the number of test and used time according software type. We want to search effect variable, going through testing result and measurement convergence, we know the effect variable of functionality and efficiency.

  • We need to measure the quality of each module to assess software quality. Especially, in industry, it is important to measure quality of modules quantitatively in order to improve bad modules and reuse good modules. In this paper, we define moduleness as characteristic that modules should be possessed and propose a method to measure software moduleness quantitatively. A case study conducted in this paper shows the usefulness of the method by measuring and evaluating moduleness of modules based on open source software developed by C, C++ and Java languages.

  • Nowadays, due to the rapidly increasing number of package software products, quality test has been emphasized for package software products. When testing software products, one of the most important factors is to select metrics which form the bases for tests. In this paper, the types of package software are represented as characteristic vectors having probabilistic relationships with metrics. The characteristic vectors could be regarded as indicators of software type. To assign the metrics for each software type, the past test metrics are collected and analyzed. Using Bayesian belief network, the dependency relationship network of the characteristic vectors and metrics is constructed. The dependency relationship network is then used to find the proper metrics for the test of new package software products.

  • Abstraction is the cornerstone of ideal software engineering (SWE). This paper discusses a problem of forming reasonable generalizations, representations and descriptions in various software development processes through the prism of poor-quality (rash, unconsidered, uncertain and harmful) abstractions. To do this, emphasis is made on an induced strategic connection between the required abstraction and its compact specific formulation based on existing research and the author's introspective experience. A software aim point and characteristic preservation of the solution integrity is the subject of the best formulation and a program module or code associated with it. Moreover, a personal attitude expressed by personal interest, motivation and creativity, is proclaimed to be a fundamental factor in successful software development.

  • To make the DRM technology protect adequately the copy right of digital contents, DRM software should have high quality and no defects when DRM is added to digital contents. It can be a basis for the effective protection of the copyright of digital contents to develop a quality evaluation model of DRM SW. First of all, the security of DRM SW is the most critical quality characteristic that DRM software must have. In this paper, we conducted research on how to measure the quality of security of DRM SW.
