Software quality assessment is an important component of its development in order to ensure both the latest and reasonable comparison of programs or their versions. Currently, software quality assessment is based on a number of international standards. At the same time, as a rule, methods of expert evaluation are used based on the metric approach of assessing the quality of software tools. Forecasting the quality characteristics of software tools is the next step in quality assurance, which should allow both obtaining reasonable achievable quality characteristics and serving, for example, for marketing research.
The paper examines existing approaches to predictive modeling of software quality characteristics. The factors that determine the forecast of software quality are analyzed. It was established that one of the main factors that determine the quality of the developed product is the quality of the requirements for it. A method of forecasting software quality characteristics based on requirements quality characteristics is proposed. Quality characteristics of requirements are established at the stage of testing (verification) of requirements. The initial data from which the predictive model is based are the quality characteristics obtained by the method of historical analogies. The predictive model assumes a simple linear dependence of the influence of the characteristics of the requirements on the predicted characteristics of the software tool, but at the same time, the number of requirements (the size of the project) and their classification are taken into account. In fact, the forecasting method consists in the established influence of the assessment of the quality characteristics of the requirements on the quality characteristics of the future project, and is carried out by the method of expert evaluation. The obtained values can be used both to substantiate the achievable quality characteristics and to improve "feedback" with customers to improve project requirements.
