Identification & Analysis of Parameters for Program Quality Improvement: A Reengineering Perspective

Abstract

The nature of software development is very dynamic and more complex by the perspective of reengineering or further program maintenances so the developed programs must be flexible, reusable and more scalable and which will be possible by the optimum quality parameters satisfaction. Having these issues in concern the software development houses trying to find out some established, usable methods to improve the quality of programs, the work presented in this paper is to identify, describe and analyze various parameters for quality which can affect the productivity and reusability of the software program and its future maintenance in form of reengineering. The work presented also analyzes the literature, previous research with different aspects and issues, and discussed its affects on present quality of the program because it is necessary to consider the potential impact on other requirements when designing a program to meet quality parameters requirements. Quality parameters are the overall factors that affect run-time behavior, system design, and user experience because many of these parameters are major concern to the program design and architecture, and also applied to establish  program functionality, reusability, performance, reliability, and security which indicates the success of the design and the overall quality of the program and its application, integration.
