Fuzzy Integrated Evaluation for Measuring Quality of Feature Space-Based Component Model

Abstract

Feature space-based component model is an effective technique to the component design and implementation for specific business domain. Quality measurement methods provide foundation for software design and improvement. However, effective quality measurement methods for component models are still lacked. Software quality model ISO-IEC9126 is extended and a suit of novel performance indicators suitable for feature space-based component model are proposed in this paper. Thus, a systemic suit of performance indicators for measuring quality of component model is established. Because of the fuzzy nature of the performance indicators, a fuzzy integrated evaluation method for measuring quality of feature space-based component model is proposed based on the fuzzy integrated evaluation theory. Finally, a case is given to verify the effectiveness of both the proposed performance indicators and the proposed evaluation method.
