Quality Comparison and Evaluation of Digital Hydraulic Control Systems

Software Quality is a term, which is commonly used in the wide Computer World. However, saying that the main goal for the developers and stakeholders is to achieve the software which is of high quality is too general. Measuring software quality is very complex, because it consists of evaluating software products, processes and resources, each of which is composite as well. The desired quality should be measured by considering diverse aspects of quality, which eventually will assemble to a complete picture of the quality developed. In our research we have concentrated on the software product evaluation, based on two developed systems. The product attributes such as size and complexity were first measured and calculated, to be able to compare the examined systems based on the obtained data.
