I am looking for software quality standards for detail analysis of quality attributes. Is there software quality standards available online? Please do needful.
Further down the road, you might want to focus on software testing methodologies such as whitebox/blackbox/greybox or unit et cetera and their effects on perception of quality.
Software Quality and Standards (Dr. James A. Bednar and Dr. David Robertson)
Software Engineering Standards
According to the IEEE Comp. Soc. Software Engineering Standards Committee a standard can be:
• An object or measure of comparison that defines or represents the magnitude of a unit
• A characterization that establishes allowable tolerances or constraints for categories of items,
• A degree or level of required excellence or attainment SEOC2 Spring
Systems Engineering Standards
Particular application domains develop sophisticated interactions between system and software engineering, so standardizing from a systems point of view can be
beneficial. Examples:
Lifecycle: ISO/IEC WD 15288 System Life Cycle
Processes
Requirements: IEEE Std 1233-1996 Guide for Developing System Requirements Specifications
Project Management Standards
These are concerned with how general principles of good management are applied to specific areas of software engineering.
Examples:
General project management: IEE Std 1058.1-1987 Standard for Software Project Management Plans
Producing plans: IEEE Std 1059-1993 Guide for Software Verification and Validation Plans
Are these standards available free online? My work concern with quality attributes such as security, usability, flexibility standard such as ISO 9126. Any quality standards available free online for research purpose?
