Experience Report on the Construction of Quality Models for Some Content Management Software Domains

In previous work, we proposed the use of software quality models for driving the formulation of requirements in the context of software package selection. Now, we report two related projects of construction of software quality models in the domains of document management, entreprise content management and Web content management. These domains may be considered particular cases of a more general category sometimes labeled as content management. The goals of these projects are several. First, to assess the scalability of our methods and artifacts. Second, to investigate the degree of reusability when working on domains so closely related. Third, in relation to the previous one, to gain more knowledge of the adequacy and effectiveness of our notion of software domains taxonomy. Fourth, to evaluate the suitability and usability of our DesCOTS system proposed as tool-support for these activities.
