The document discusses software quality and defines key aspects:
- It explains the importance of software quality for users and developers.
- Qualities like correctness, reliability, efficiency are defined.
- Methods for measuring qualities like ISO 9126 standard are presented.
- Quality is important throughout the software development process.
- Both product quality and process quality need to be managed.
This document discusses hierarchical models of software quality, including the McCall and Boehm models. The McCall model addresses three areas of software quality: product operation, product revision, and product transition. Product operation focuses on usability, integrity, efficiency, and correctness. Product revision examines testability and maintainability. Product transition considers portability, reusability, and interoperability. The Boehm model defines three levels of quality attributes: primary uses, intermediate constructs, and primitive constructs. Primary uses include as-is utility and maintainability. Intermediate constructs are flexibility, reliability, portability, efficiency, testability, understandability, and usability. Primitive constructs result in measurable properties.
The quality of software systems may be expressed as a collection of Software Quality Attributes. When the system requirements are defined, it is essential also to define what is expected regarding these quality attributes, since these expectations will guide the planning of the system architecture and design.
Software quality attributes may be classified into two main categories: static and dynamic. Static quality attributes are the ones that reflect the system’s structure and organization. Examples of static attributes are coupling, cohesion, complexity, maintainability and extensibility. Dynamic attributes are the ones that reflect the behavior of the system during its execution. Examples of dynamic attributes are memory usage, latency, throughput, scalability, robustness and fault-tolerance.
Following the definitions of expectations regarding the quality attributes, it is essential to devise ways to measure them and verify that the implemented system satisfies the requirements. Some static attributes may be measured through static code analysis tools, while others require effective design and code reviews. The measuring and verification of dynamic attributes requires the usage of special non-functional testing tools such as profilers and simulators.
In this talk I will discuss the main Software Quality attributes, both static and dynamic, examples of requirements, and practical guidelines on how to measure and verify these attributes.

Control and Change Control
The document discusses software quality assurance (SQA) and quality control (QC). It defines SQA as a planned set of activities to evaluate the development process and ensure software meets requirements. QC focuses on reviews, inspections, and tests to find and remove defects before product release. Formal technical reviews (FTRs) are important QC activities that involve evaluation of work products by other engineers to uncover errors early. The goal is to improve quality and catch the majority of defects in a cost-effective manner.
The iterative model breaks a project into small modules that can be delivered incrementally. A working version is produced in the first module, with each subsequent release adding additional functionality until the full system is complete. It allows for quick releases during development and makes it easier to develop and test in smaller iterations while incorporating customer feedback at each stage. However, it requires more resources than traditional models and skilled management to avoid increased costs over time.
This document discusses software project management. It outlines software processes, common problems, and methods for improving processes. Software processes involve many elements and sub-processes. Common problems include cost overruns, schedule delays, low productivity, and poor quality. There are three methods for improving processes: meta processes focus on organizational strategies and profitability, macro processes produce software within constraints for a project, and micro processes focus on iterations and risk resolution for a project team. The objective of process improvement is to maximize resources for productive activities and minimize overhead impacts on resources like personnel and schedule to ultimately enhance product quality.

Consistent toolbox talks are critical for maintaining workplace safety, as they provide regular opportunities to address specific hazards and reinforce safe practices.
These brief, focused sessions ensure that safety is a continual conversation rather than a one-time event, which helps keep safety protocols fresh in employees' minds. Studies have shown that shorter, more frequent training sessions are more effective for retention and behavior change compared to longer, infrequent sessions.
Engaging workers regularly, toolbox talks promote a culture of safety, empower employees to voice concerns, and ultimately reduce the likelihood of accidents and injuries on site.
The traditional method of conducting safety talks with paper documents and lengthy meetings is not only time-consuming but also less effective. Manual tracking of attendance and compliance is prone to errors and inconsistencies, leading to gaps in safety communication and potential non-compliance with OSHA regulations. Switching to a digital solution like Safelyio offers significant advantages.
Safelyio automates the delivery and documentation of safety talks, ensuring consistency and accessibility. The microlearning approach breaks down complex safety protocols into manageable, bite-sized pieces, making it easier for employees to absorb and retain information.
This method minimizes disruptions to work schedules, eliminates the hassle of paperwork, and ensures that all safety communications are tracked and recorded accurately. Ultimately, using a digital platform like Safelyio enhances engagement, compliance, and overall safety performance on site. https://safelyio.com/

Measures in SQL (SIGMOD 2024, Santiago, Chile)Julian Hyde
SQL has attained widespread adoption, but Business Intelligence tools still use their own higher level languages based upon a multidimensional paradigm. Composable calculations are what is missing from SQL, and we propose a new kind of column, called a measure, that attaches a calculation to a table. Like regular tables, tables with measures are composable and closed when used in queries.
SQL-with-measures has the power, conciseness and reusability of multidimensional languages but retains SQL semantics. Measure invocations can be expanded in place to simple, clear SQL.
To define the evaluation semantics for measures, we introduce context-sensitive expressions (a way to evaluate multidimensional expressions that is consistent with existing SQL semantics), a concept called evaluation context, and several operations for setting and modifying the evaluation context.

2. Software Quality:
•Conformance to the users Requirements.
Quality Models:
•Software Quality is described by specific quality models.
Software Quality Models are:
McCall’s Model
•Boehm Model
•FURPS/FURPS+
•Dromey quality Model
•ISO quality Model

3. Introduction:
Jim McCall produced this model for the US Air Force
and the intention was to bridge the gap between users and developers.
McCall Model Developed in 1967-7,
•One of the first , Oldest software quality model.
•Started with volume of 55 quality characteristics ,called them “factors”
•Quality Factors was compressed into 11 main factors.
•McCall Tried to map
user view
developer’s priorities.

4. McCall Quality Model:
Three 3 major perspectives.
1. Product Revision (ability to under go Changes)
Maintainability, Flexibility, Testability.
2.Product Transition (adaptability to new environments).
Portability, Reusability, Interoperability.
3.Product Operations( basic Operational characteristic).
Correctness, Reliability, Efficiency, Integrity, Usability
BY: SUNDAS SHABBIR Ahmed Kaim
Khani 4
7. McCall’s Quality Model:
Based on 3 types of Characteristics with hierarchical dependency:
1. Factors(to specify): external software view for users.
2. Criteria(to build): internal software view for developers.
3. Measures/metrics (to control): are used for software measurement.

8. 1.Product Operations
•Correctness, the functionality matches the specification.
or
Does it do what customer wants?(meeting specification)
•Reliability, the extent to which the system fails.
or
Does it do it accurately all of the time. (successful performance)

9. 1.Product Operations conti..
•Efficiency, system resource (including cpu, disk, memory, network) usage.
or
Does it quickly solve the intended problem?(enough computing resources)
•Integrity, protection from unauthorized access.
or is it Secure? (access limitation to people)
•Usability, ease of use
Or
Can I run it? (efforts in learning/operating)

10. 2.Product revision
•Maintainability, the ability to find and fix a defect.
Or Can it be fixed?(fixing bugs and errors)
•Flexibility, the ability to make changes required as dictated by the business.
Or Can it be changed?(modifying an operational program)
•Testability, the ability to Validate the software requirements.
Or Can it be tested? (ensuring performance)
BY: SUNDAS SHABBIR Ahmed Kaim

11. 3. Product transition
•Portability, the ability to transfer the software from one environment to another.
Or Can it be used on another machine?(Platform dependence).
•Reusability, the ease of using existing software components in a different context.
Or Can part of it be reused? (generic coding).
•Interoperability, the extent, or ease, to which software components work together.
Or Can it interface with other system (coupling system)

12. Relationship between Quality Factors and Quality Criteria
•Each quality factor is positively influenced by the set of quality criteria,
And the same quality criterion impacts a number of quality factors.
Some quality factors positively impact others.
•An effort to improve the correctness of a system will increase its reliability.
