Before being able to measure, one has to define what is to be measured... Software Scale bases its definition of software quality on the ISO/IEC 9126 quality model, thus distinguishing internal quality, external quality and quality in use. SCALE, Software Scale Quality framework, focuses on the first part of the model which specifies six characteristics for internal quality: Software Quality according to ISO/IEC 9126 The quality improvement process then consists in: Defining a set of constraints that will allow reaching a satisfying level for each of the six characteristics. Verifying whether these constraints are satisfied. Defining, planning and taking corrective actions to meet the constraints that are not satisfied. Tracking the actual execution of these actions, measuring improvements and re-assessing the relevance of the quality objective profile. It should be noted that the requirement in terms of quality level may vary according to the activity se
