Developers View

Validation and verification are two independent methods used together to check that a software product meets the requirements and that it fulfills its intended purpose. Validation checks that the product design satisfies the purposeful usage and verification checks for errors in the software.

1. The primary concern for developers is in the design and engineering processes involved in producing software.
2. Quality can be measured by the degree of conformance to predetermined requirements and standards, and deviations from these standards can lead to poor quality and low reliability.
3. While validation and verification are used by the developers to improve the software, the two methods don’t represent a quantifiable quality measurement. 
4. The developer’s view of software quality and the customer’s view of software quality are both different things. 

For example, the customer understands or describes the quality of operation as meeting the requirement while the developers use different factors to describe the software quality. The developer view of quality in the software is influenced by many factors. This model stresses on 3 primary ones:

The code: It is measured by its correctness and reliability.

The data: The application integrity measures it.

Maintainability: It has different measures the simplest is the mean time to change.

Software Quality Framework is a model for software quality that ensures quality by connecting and integrating the different views of software quality. This article focuses on discussing the Software Quality Framework.
