Abstract
The demand for quality in software production raises new challenges for software engineering process. The solutions proposed for the quality problem are based on standards which provide an abstract frame and drive further tailoring and installation of quality assurance methods and quality control principles. This installing in an enterprise requires a lot of time and effort. The methodologists and persons who are responsible for the choice of the method demand a framework, which helps them to assess the cover and appropriateness of alternative methods from quality engineering viewpoint in particular. The present paper introduces a unifying model which can be used for this assessing of the necessary characteristics of a method. In addition, we briefly illustrate how to apply this model to the definition of a specific review method.
