Abstract

Previous research has identified factors and attributes for static quality model. This research aims to construct a dynamic and intelligent software quality model for effective software product assessment. Previous model of software quality and known as PQF model consists of two main quality attributes: the behavioural and the human aspect. These two components of quality produce a balance model between technical requirement and human factor. The proposed dynamic intelligent model of PQF (i-PQF) should capable to identify and recommend to the environment if there is any new attribute to be included in the model. This is done by integrating artificial intelligence technique and methods to produce a complete algorithm for assessing software product using intelligent model. It will be tested using a prototype. The new model is useful for organization in assessment of software products as well as to integrate in future researches as a quality benchmark.
