Can anybody suggest how to improve component based Software Quality Model? To implement this empirically, data values are also needed. If anyone has input values then I may apply some Matlab NN to check for its value?
Not sure what you are asking exactly. Are you doing QA testing to check the product quality for the customer's experience, or for the accurate functionality of the code?
Or are you checking for errors or redundancies in the code itself?
My company recently started using a code checking software called Coverity to find coding errors. Not sure if that's the type of info you are looking for.
I think first you have to define some dependability metrics to measure the reliability of the components, and to create a methodology for systematically increasing dependability scores by performing additional test activities
Don't forget software reviews techniques (not only software inspections). Also, remember that reviews apply to every artifact in the software development and is one of the best ways to detect defects. Maybe you can apply some review technique to models in order to improve their quality.
Michael, can you tell me how to apply agile s/w design methodology empiricilly. Do you have any data relating to that. Theoretical concept of agile methodology is clear. But from where & how to fetch data values to apply the same and show results.
