Abstract

To scrutinize the uniqueness of software quality model it is crucial to compare it with existing ones. Quality is generally apprehended in a model that illustrates the features and their interactions. Numerous models for measuring quality of software processes have been recommended to assess particular type of software products. Numerous methodologies and practices have been suggested to perform the specific or general scope based comparisons among eminent models. These comparisons are leak. The Suggested comparison lacks the clear differentiation and in depth analysis. Consequently, a prescribed method of comparison among software quality models has been defined. The suggested technique is applied on an inclusive comparison among renowned software quality models. The consequence of suggested technique demonstrates the power and faintness of quality models.
