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.
