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. ISO and

9、 IEC technical committees collaborate in fields of mutual interest. Other international organizations, governmental and non-governmental, in liaison with ISO and IEC, also take part in the work. In the field of information technology, ISO and IEC have established a joint technical committee, ISO/IEC

10、 JTC 1. International Standards are drafted in accordance with the rules given in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2. The main task of the joint technical committee is to prepare International Standards. Draft International Standards adopted by the joint technical committee are circulated to national bo

11、dies for voting. Publication as an International Standard requires approval by at least 75 % of the national bodies casting a vote. Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this part of ISO/IEC 25020 may be the subject of patent rights. ISO and IEC shall not be held respons

12、ible for identifying any or all such patent rights. ISO/IEC FDIS 25020 is part of the SQuaRE series of standards and was prepared by Joint Technical Committee ISO/IEC JTC 1, Information technology, Subcommittee SC 7, Software and systems engineering. SQuaRE series of standards consists of the follow

13、ing divisions under the general title Software engineering, Software product Quality Requirements and Evaluation (SQuaRE): Quality Management Division (ISO/IEC 2500n), Quality Model Division (ISO/IEC 2501n), Quality Measurement Division (ISO/IEC 2502n), Quality Requirements Division (ISO/IEC 2503n),

14、 and Quality Evaluation Division (ISO/IEC 2504n). BS ISO/IEC 25020:2007v Introduction The general goal of creating the SQuaRE series of International Standards is to move to a logically organized, enriched and unified series covering three complementary processes: requirements specification, measure

15、ment and evaluation. The purpose of the SQuaRE series of International Standards is to assist those developing and acquiring software products with the specification and evaluation of quality requirements. It establishes criteria for the specification of software product quality requirements and the

16、ir evaluation. It includes a two-part quality model for aligning customer definitions of quality with characteristics of the software product. In addition, the series defines measures of software product quality characteristics that can be used by developers, acquirers and evaluators. It has to be s

17、tressed that the SQuaRE series of International Standards is dedicated to software product quality only. The Quality Management Division of the SQuaRE series deals with software products, and is separate and distinct from the “Quality Management“ of processes which is defined in the ISO 9000 family

18、of International Standards. The major benefits of the SQuaRE series over its predecessor standards include: the coordination of guidance on software product quality measurement and evaluation, guidance for the specification of software product quality requirements, and harmonization with ISO/IEC 159

19、39 in the form of Quality Measurement Reference model presented in this International Standard. The major differences between the SQuaRE series of International Standards and its predecessors, ISO/IEC 9126 and ISO/IEC 14598, are the: introduction of the new general reference model, introduction of d

20、edicated and detailed guides for each division, introduction of Quality Measure Elements within the Quality Measurement Division, introduction of the Quality Requirements Division, incorporation and revision of the evaluation processes, introduction of guidance for practical use in the form of examp

21、les, and co-ordination and harmonization of content with ISO/IEC 15939. SQuaRE consists of the following five divisions: Quality Management Division (ISO/IEC 2500n), Quality Model Division (ISO/IEC 2501n), Quality Measurement Division (ISO/IEC 2502n), Quality Requirements Division (ISO/IEC 2503n), a

22、nd Quality Evaluation Division (ISO/IEC 2504n). SQuaRE provides: terms and definitions, BS ISO/IEC 25020:2007vi reference models, a general guide, individual division guides, and standards for requirements specification, measurement and evaluation purposes. SQuaRE includes International Standards an

23、d technical reports for a quality model and measures, as well as on quality requirements and evaluation. SQuaRE replaces current ISO/IEC 9126 series and ISO/IEC 14598 series. This International Standard is intended to be used together with ISO/IEC 25010. It is strongly recommended that users refer t

24、o ISO/IEC 2500n, ISO/IEC 2501n, ISO/IEC 2503n, and ISO/IEC 2504n division of International Standards prior to using this International Standard and the associated measurement technical reports, particularly if the user is not familiar with the use of software measures for requirements specification

25、and product evaluation. These International Standards discuss the planning and use of the software quality measures defined in the ISO/IEC 2502n series on software product quality measurement. ISO/IEC 25010 will provide a model and defines terms for software product quality characteristics and how t

26、hese characteristics are decomposed into subcharacteristics. It does not describe how any of these subcharacteristics could be measured. The Quality Measurement Division provides information and guidance about how to measure the characteristics and subcharacteristics of a quality model. This Interna

27、tional Standard provides a reference model and guide for measuring the quality characteristics defined in ISO/IEC 2501n Quality Model Division (Figure 1). The associated standards and technical reports within the Quality Measurement Division describe measures of quality throughout the product life c

28、ycle. ISO/IEC 25021 offers quality measure elements that can be used to construct software quality measures. Quality measure elements are the base and derived measures used to create measures of software product quality characteristics. Quality measure elements may measure a static representation of

29、 the software, the behaviour of the software, or the effects of the software when it is used. ISO/IEC 25022, ISO/IEC 25023 and ISO/IEC 25024 will describe measures for the characteristics in the quality model. Internal measures characterize software product quality based upon static representations

30、of the software, external measures characterize software product quality based upon the behaviour of the computer-based system including the software, and quality in use measures characterize software product quality based upon the effects of using the software in a specific context of use. The meas

31、ures in these technical reports should not be construed as an exhaustive or required set. Figure 2 depicts the relationship between this International Standard and the technical reports in the Quality Measurement Division. Developers, evaluators, quality managers, acquirers, suppliers, maintainers a

32、nd other users of software may select measures from these technical reports for the measurement of quality characteristics of interest. In practice this may be with respect to defining requirements, evaluating software products, quality management and other purposes. Users may also modify the measur

33、es or use measures which are not included in those technical reports.

This International Standard also contains the following informative annexes (A through C)

37、and Bibliography: Criteria for selecting software quality measures and quality measure elements Demonstrating predictive validity and assessing measurement reliability Example format for documenting software quality measures Bibliography The SQuaRE series of International Standards is intended for,

38、but not limited to, developers, acquirers and independent evaluators of software, particularly those responsible for defining software product quality requirements and for software product evaluation. It is recommended that users of SQuaRE use this International Standard as a guide to execute their

39、software product quality measurement tasks. 2 Conformance Any software product quality measurement that conforms to this International Standard shall fulfil the requirements of Clause 6. 3 Normative references The following referenced documents are indispensable for the application of this document.

The following definitions are replicated here for the convenience of the user of this Internationl

42、Standard. Unattributed references are from ISO/IEC 25000. 4.1 attribute inherent property or characteristic of an entity that can be distinguished quantitatively or qualitatively by human or automated meansISO/IEC 15939:2002 NOTE ISO 9000 distinguishes two types of attributes: a permanent characteri

43、stic existing inherently in something; and an assigned characteristic of a product, process or system (e.g. the price of a product, the owner of a product). The assigned characteristic is not an inherent quality characteristic of that product, process or system. 4.2 base measure measure defined in t

44、erms of an attribute and the method for quantifying it NOTE A base measure is functionally independent of other measures. ISO/IEC 15939: 2002, based on the definition in International Vocabulary of Basic and General Terms in Metrology, 1993 4.3 derived measure measure that is defined as a function o

45、f two or more values of base measures ISO/IEC 15939:2002, based on the definition in International Vocabulary of Basic and General Terms in Metrology, 1993 NOTE A transformation of a base measure using a mathematical function can also be considered as a derived measure. 4.4 external software quality

46、 capability of a software product to enable the behaviour of a system to satisfy stated and implied needs when the system is used under specified conditions NOTE Attributes of the behaviour can be verified and/or validated by executing the software product during testing and operation. EXAMPLE The n

47、umber of failures found during testing is an external software quality measure related to the number of faults present in the program. The two measures are not necessarily identical since testing may not find all faults, and a fault may give rise to apparently different failures in different circums

48、tances. 4.5 indicator measure that provides an estimate or evaluation of specified attributes derived from a model with respect to defined information needs ISO/IEC 15939:2002 NOTE In ISO/IEC 14598 this definition was, “a measure that can be used to estimate or predict another measure.“ BS ISO/IEC 2
