Abstract
International standards for software product quality classify software resources as a non-functional requirement for software product. Resources requirements based-standards describe required resources requirements related to software and hardware requirements, in which hardware resources requirements specify requirements relevant to hardware environment in which the software will operate. Whereas, software resources requirements specify sizing and timing requirements required by software product. This paper propose a reference model to identify and measure resources requirements of software product quality based on ISO international standards. The proposed reference model is experimented to present its applicability using the software specifications of an ATM machine to identify and measure the functional size of resources requirements independently from development technology. This measure take place at an early phase of the software development life cycle and used by software project managers as one of the primary inputs for the effort estimation process of software products.
Highlights
Software products face a traditional challenge to obtain required resources to accomplish needed functionality for its users
The resulting metamodels presented represent instantiation metamodels of the proposed reference model. They can be used to identify and measure software resources requirements based on the concepts in ISO25010 (2011), which can be considered as quality evaluation of software resources requirements in addition to the measurement benefit
This paper proposed a new reference model to identify and measure software resources requirements based on ISO international standards ISO19761 and ISO14143-1
Summary
Software products face a traditional challenge to obtain required resources to accomplish needed functionality for its users. The motivation of this research paper is to help software development organizations and in particular software project managers and technical leaders to build more accurate effort estimation models, by improving one of primary inputs (i.e., measurement of software resources requirements) for the effort estimation process. This improvement will improve planning, management and development of software at different phases of the software development life cycle. The contribution of this paper is a new reference model to identify and measure software resources requirements based on international ISO standards ISO19761 and ISO14143-1.
