Quality Model Based on Cots Quality Attributes

The quality of software is essential to corporations in making their commercial software. Good or poorquality to software plays an important role to some systems such as embedded systems, real-time systems,and control systems that play an important aspect in human life. Software products or commercial off theshelf software are usually programmed based on a software quality model. In the software engineeringfield, each quality model contains a set of attributes or characteristics that drives its quality model. Thesequality attributes reflects the quality of a software product or one of the commercial off the shelfsoftware. This study is a comparative study we will discuss the software quality models: Boehm’s qualitymodel, McCall’s quality model, FURPS quality model, Dromey’s quality model and ISO 9126 qualitymodel. This study will use empirical data to compare quality models based on their quality attributes todetermine which of these models are used in the most known commercial off the shelf software based ontheir quality attributes. The importance of this study is to determine which of the most used qualitymodels by software developers in the computer software industry.
