-00:00:00,170 --> 00:00:02,920

-So, let's see how this affects the concept of software

-

-2

-00:00:02,920 --> 00:00:05,620

-quality. Another way to express what we just said is

-

-3

-00:00:05,620 --> 00:00:08,220

-to say that the software runs on some hardware and

-

-4

-00:00:08,220 --> 00:00:11,750

-is developed for a purpose that is related to human

-

-5

-00:00:11,750 --> 00:00:14,870

-activities. And given this perspective, we can define what we

-

-6

-00:00:14,870 --> 00:00:18,440

-mean by software quality in this light. Software quality is

-

-7

-00:00:18,440 --> 00:00:22,290

-not just a function of the software. So, the software

-

-8

-00:00:22,290 --> 00:00:25,610

-itself does not define the quality of the overall system.

-

-9

-00:00:25,610 --> 00:00:28,880

-Rather, software quality is a function of both the

-

-10

-00:00:28,880 --> 00:00:32,259

-software and its purpose. Where purpose has to do with

-

-11

-00:00:32,259 --> 00:00:34,840

-the way in which the software will be used. So

-

-12

-00:00:34,840 --> 00:00:37,950

-a software system can be of low quality not only

-

-13

-00:00:37,950 --> 00:00:40,580

-because it does not work well. So, for example, not

-

-14

-00:00:40,580 --> 00:00:43,620

-only because it crashes. Of course, that's an issue. But

-

-15

-00:00:43,620 --> 00:00:47,000

-just as importantly, a software can also be of low

-

-16

-00:00:47,000 --> 00:00:50,720

-quality because it does not fulfill its purpose, and this

-

-17

-00:00:50,720 --> 00:00:53,960

-happens quite often. It is unfortunately not rare for

-

-18

-00:00:53,960 --> 00:00:57,310

-the software producers to have an inadequate understanding, or even

-

-19

-00:00:57,310 --> 00:01:00,450

-a complete misunderstanding of the purpose of the software,

-

-20

-00:01:00,450 --> 00:01:03,200

-of what the users want to do and will do

-

-21

-00:01:03,200 --> 00:01:05,770

-with it. Turning these around, we can therefore define

-

-22

-00:01:05,770 --> 00:01:09,890

-the quality of software in terms of fitness for purpose.

-

-23

-00:01:09,890 --> 00:01:12,990

-The more the software fulfills its purpose, the more

-

-24

-00:01:12,990 --> 00:01:16,040

-the software is on target, the higher is its quality.

-

-25

-00:01:16,040 --> 00:01:19,600

-And identifying the purpose of the software, so hitting

-

-26

-00:01:19,600 --> 00:01:23,550

-this target, is exactly the goal of requirements engineering.

-

-27

-00:01:23,550 --> 00:01:25,970

-And it is the reason why requirements engineering is

-

-28

-00:01:25,970 --> 00:01:29,370

-such a fundamental activity in the context of software engineering.
