Abstract

Evolutionary analysis of software (SW) quality models (QM) over the past forty years, from one of the first software QM by McCall to the model presented in the standard ISO 25010 is performed. 9 models were chosen for the analysis and divided into sets of basic and corporate QMs according to the completeness, detailing and significance. The choice of basic models McCall (1977), IEEE 1219 (1993), ISO9126-1 (2001), ISO 25010 (2010) is grounded. QM structure is described by hierarchy whose elements are sets of characteristics (subcharacteristics) and relations of subordination between them. To assess the complexity and completeness of SW QM and to compare them with the latest ISO 25010 model special particular and general metrics are introduced. Analytic dependence of the growth of model complexity represented by a linear function is obtained. Analysis of some characteristics evolution (operational suitability, effectiveness, reliability, usability, safety, etc) is performed.
