| Abstract |
|
The absence of structured descriptions of quality features and user quality requirements makes selecting the right software package difficult. The authors propose a methodology for describing the quality features of domain-specific software packages uniformly and comprehensively using ISO/IEC 9126-1 quality standards as a framework.
