Catalog existing models for software quality/maturity #4

Closed jaeddy closed 4 years ago

jaeddy commented 4 years ago

Search for and record any models or standards for characterizing the quality or maturity of a software tool. These are unlikely to be specific to various tool types, but could provide the base model that we'd extend and schematize for each tool profile.

Some initial examples:

Open Preservation Foundation's software maturity model
ISO 9126 standard for software quality
Various models for software quality (e.g., Boehm, McCall) — see this ref:

I've started to outline characteristics and definitions from the ISO 25010 model (which apparently replaced ISO 9126). Next step is to identify examples of how the standard has been applied / define the relevant attributes and metrics to evaluate for different types of tools.

Here's an overview diagram of ISO 25010 (from this post):

The work of cataloging quality model is considered done. A draft for Maintainability, Portability and Documentation scores is available here: https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/15b9ezK1FXS-9f-Zvp2sXIICPwUmnTuv5GBEs3A9ct5M/edit#slide=id.g7a7294dbf9_0_73

The next step is to create a format description for each specifications of the above metrics (+ Discoverability). One goal is to also decompose the listed specifications into sub tasks that can more easily be validated and used to compute a score.
