QuASE: A Tool Supported Approach to Facilitating Quality-Related Communication in Software Development

Abstract

The paper describes the current state of the ongoing project QuASE. This project aims at facilitating quality-related communication in software development by the following means: a communication platform providing view harmonizing mechanisms for the different parties involved in a software process, decision making support related to quality issues, reuse of experience from former communication, prediction of quality-related experience. We describe usage scenarios for this approach, and outline its core concepts as well as the current progress of its implementation.
