Abstract
Software quality is one of the major issues with software intensive
systems. Moreover, quality is a critical success factor in software product
families exploiting shared architecture and common components in a set of
products. Our contribution is the QRF (Quality Requirements of a software
Family) method, which explicitly focuses on how quality requirements have to
be defined, represented and transformed to architectural models. The method
has been applied to two experiments; one in a laboratory environment and the
other in industry. The use of the QRF method is exemplified by the
Distribution Service Platform (DiSeP), the laboratory experiment. The lessons
learned are also based on our experiences of applying the method in industrial
settings.
