National bodies that are members of ISO or IEC participate in the development of International Standards through technical committees established by the respective organization to deal with particular fields of technical activity.

International Standards are drafted in accordance with the rules given in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 3. In the field of information technology, ISO and

19、-6:2001(E)v Introduction Software product evaluation depends on a set of evaluation techniques and metrics that provide information about the quality characteristics of the software. Many metrics and associated methods for using the measurement results can be used for specific software product evalu

20、ation. ISO/IEC 9126-2 and ISO/IEC 9126-3 provide example metrics that correspond to one sub-characteristic. It is difficult to use these metrics consistently in an organisation. It may be necessary to develop new metrics for specific use. Therefore, it is necessary that a supporting function (see 14

21、598-2) in the organisation specifies each metric for correct and consistent use within the organisation. The format for documenting a metric and associated methods, as well as guides for their use, should be standardised. The concept of an evaluation module provides a solution to this need. An evalu

22、ation module specifies the evaluation methods applicable for evaluating a quality characteristic and identifies the evidence it needs. It also defines the elementary evaluation procedure and the format for reporting the measurements resulting from the application of the techniques. A consistent way

23、of documenting evaluation modules has a number of advantages: It provides a common reference in the description of the theoretical basis of evaluation modules. It identifies a minimal set of requirements for documenting and developing evaluation modules. It provides a necessary tool in collecting an

24、d cataloguing the large number of evaluation modules anticipated. Evaluation modules provide a flexible and structured approach to making metrics applicable for evaluating intermediate and completed products. The use of evaluation modules produced according to this part of ISO/IEC 14598 helps to ens

25、ure that software product evaluations can be repeatable, reproducible and objective. The format for documenting an evaluation module takes into account the following: It will be applied within the context of the evaluation of software products. The format supports the need for developing new metrics

26、 with respect to state of the art. The format provides a precise definition of metrics and their application. It provides the information needed for those who will use them for an evaluation. Annex A provides guidance for the development process for new evaluation modules. Annexes B, C and D are examples of evaluation modules.
