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. |
