AN ONTOLOGY BASED MODEL FOCUSING ON RISKS FOR QUALITY CERTIFICATION OF SOFTWARE PRODUCTS

Abstract

This paper presents a model for software product quality certification based on an ontology that uses a risk oriented framework. A literature review about testing and software quality and international standards such as ISO were used as the grounds for the research that also involved a case study. A prototype was developed using ontologies and software agents. The contribution of this work consists on a framework, which is focused on risks for specialization of software quality model, and ontology for the representation of the involved knowledge.
