Framework for Measuring the Quality of Software Specification

Abstract

This paper proposes a platform for measuring the quality of structure and functional requirement in software requirement specification (SRS). The SRS contains information needed to ensure the quality of the software. Measurement will be proposed based on four quality properties namely preciseness, consistency, completeness and correctness. The completeness properties will be used to measure the SRS which is based on IEEE 830 as a minimal standard. Meanwhile, the consistency, correctness and preciseness properties are proposed to be used for measuring the functional requirement in the document. The measurement of the overall quality of the SRS will be calculated based on all quality properties. The rules and formula for computing the SRS quality are embedded in proposed framework., which is a basis for platform for assessing the software quality.
