Abstract
Efforts towards better software quality have been made for over three decades. In sixties to early seventies (1960–1971), most of the efforts were focused on testing and debugging. Then software engineering emerged. The following latter seventies and early eighties (1972–1982) are considered to be the age of software engineering, especially structured techniques such as structured analysis, design, coding and testing. After then (1983-1994) CASE tools have been the key topics driven by such technologies as Object Oriented, Artificial Intelligence and Graphical User Interface. Unix based workstations and personal computers have made great progress during this period. Another remarkable advance have made in the field of software management including software metrics, TQM (Total Quality Management) in software and process improvement.
