Model for measuring quality of software in DVRS using the gap concept and fuzzy schemes with GA

A model of software quality is proposed to measure the quality of the software in a digital video recorder system (DVRS) during its development stage. The characteristics and metrics of this model are adopted from ISO/IEC 9126 and 14598. The model incorporates a @l-fuzzy measure, a genetic algorithm and a hierarchical Choquet integral. It is based on the gap concept between perceive performance by the developers and satisfaction by the end-users, acquirers and evaluators of third parties in software development stage. A checklist about of the software quality is used to reduce the gap between the quality of the DVRS software quality as assessed by the developers and that as assessed by the end-users, acquirers and the evaluators of third parties.
