A Framework Based Measurements for Evaluating an IS Quality
Lamouchi, O., Cherif, A.R. and Levy, N.
There is an increasing community of researchers trying
to draw attention to the importance of evaluation
issues. Some approaches can be followed to evaluate
the quality of software, but gives no guidance on how
to construct a high quality software product and on
how to use in practice this model across evaluation
process. IS are built upon Software, and the quality of
Software effects, if not determine the quality of the IS.
There are several difficulties of developing a
comprehensive model of IS quality. The concepts,
models and measures that work in other fields might be
usefully applied to the IS field, but careful analysis and
consideration should be given.
This paper describes a practical method that can be
used to evaluate the expected quality of IS. Our
approach is focused on a direct evaluation of the
quality of an IS. Our proposed IS quality model is
considered as structured set of properties (such as
reliability, maintainability, and so on). These
properties are usually presented as a hierarchy of
statements. The uppermost ones represent the most
general properties, suitable to be understood by the
widest variety of people, but very difficult to measure
directly. The deeper we sink into this hierarchy, the
more technical-audience-oriented and measurable
properties are found. These finals properties need to be
measured using metrics. For this purpose a metrics
measurement-based framework is linked to the defined
quality model. |
