ABSTRACT
This article examines the different
ways in which the quality model
behind MITRE Corporation's
Software Quality Assessment
Exercise (SQAE) can be migrated to
ISO/IEC 9126:2001. The reasons
why such a migration is desirable
are detailed through a comparison
of the quality models supporting
ISO/IEC 9126 and SQAE. The problem
is solved through the definition
and usage of an abstraction layer
between the two quality models.
The resulting model is examined
and further improvements are
suggested to ensure compliance
with ISO/IEC 9126.
