Defining software quality

(300 words, less than one page)
Defining software quality To begin this course, this reading introduces you to the broader ideas behind the topic of software quality and provides some initial perspectives on why quality is hard to measure, and how software engineers have approached this tough measurement problem. You will also learn that there is no single, universal definition of software quality, and the concept is used with varying meanings in different situations.

To read Each week of the semester, you will have a reading assignment to complete that includes a brief written response to two questions based on the reading.

[required] Robert Glass. The link between software quality and software maintenance
