Initial Definition of a Knowledge-Based Software Quality Assistant

Abstract : Prior and current research in the area of software quality reveals the necessity for a more innovative approach. This project suggests the need for further exploratory work in the application of knowledge-based and expert system technology to areas related to software quality. Prior investigation have focused on the development of an expert system to support the specification and generation of software quality factor goals. This project contemplates the creation and development of a comprehensive Knowledge-Based Software Quality Assistant (KBQA), which would eventually encompass the entire software development life cycle.
