Abstract
[Context and motivation] Quality is one of the most critical success factors of software products. [Question / problem] Nevertheless, during software development processes software quality is still not given the proper attention and relevance it deserves. [Principal ideas / results] This paper outlines ten common myths about software quality prevailing in practice. [Contribution] The discussion of these myths unveils challenges which need further attention in requirements engineering (RE) research and practice.
