Quamoco Meta Model Essay

PROBLEM DEFINITION

Software quality models have been anticipated as a means for describing the concept of quality. Most quality models provide an abstract view on quality characteristics. Therefore, a gap exists between abstract quality attributes and concrete quality assessment measurements. The main reason for this problem includes the complexity of quality or different quality attributes in different areas that prevent us from building operationalised quality models.

PROPOSED SOLUTION

The Quamoco approach aimed at closing this gap by building operationalised quality models. The major contributions to achieve this goal include;
Meta Model that is developed to ensure a structure of operationalised quality models. The concept of product factor is used in meta model which are used to fill the gap

 The Quamoco meta model enables us to provide a rich set of tools for editing and maintaining quality models.
 The Quamoco quality modelling approach provides flexibility in the Quality Aspects which allows us to completely include the standard ISO/IEC 25010 quality models.
 The Quamoco meta model advances the completeness, conciseness and consistency of quality models as it encourages the model builders to stick to an established framework and helps them in finding omissions.

DISADVANTAGES

 The Quamoco base model and its evaluation focus only on a small number of technologies and paradigms.
 The tool support in Quamoco approach is not on the level of a commercial or mature open source application.
 The Quamoco base model limits the possibilities of assessing dynamic aspects of the software as the majority of the base model measures have static analysis instruments to allow them to be collected with low
