Evaluation of Space Software Systems Based on Computer Generated Quality Analysis.

Abstract

(19) Zusammenfassung The high complexity and enormous size of software systems developed in space projects and the the strict and prententious quality requirements regarding readability, maintainability, availability and saftety imposed on them makes it necessary the utilization of modern software quality assurance methodologies. In this paper an approach to supporting the efficient verification of these requirements is presented. The utilizatuin of these modern methodologies supported by computer based tools will be detailed. Additionally, the integration of the software quality analysis activities in the overall project framework willbe described. It is finally argued that the approach is a cost effective one as the weak parts of the software are automatically identified and the analysis produces different levels of information on the software quality that are delivered to the different project team members.
