IMPORTANCE OF SOFTWARE QUALITY MODELS IN SOFTWARE ENGINEERING

The purpose of this paper is to identify the importance quality in software engineering when the projects or products are developed. The degree to which a component, system or process meets specified requirements and/or user/customer needs and expectations is the quality. The totality of functionality and features of a software product that bear on its ability to satisfy stated or implied needs is software quality. Some even say that ‘quality’ cannot be defined and some say that it can be defined but only in a particular context. Some even state confidently that ‘quality is lack of bugs’. In this paper we discuss about the quality and the quality models.
