The assessment of software quality from the user perspective: Evaluation of a GIS implementation
Huitfeldt, Bronwyn & Middleton, Michael R. (2001) The assessment of software quality from the user perspective: Evaluation of a GIS implementation. Journal of End User Computing, 13(1), pp. 3-11.
Abstract
Software quality analysis was carried out using the characteristics of functionality, reliability, usability, efficiency, maintainability and portability and their associated sub-characteristics that are defined in the national software quality standard AS/NZS 4216: 1994 [ISO/IEC 9126: 1991]. The research indicates that the Standard criteria are oriented towards IT maintenance staff rather than end users. Further criteria such as those relating to flexibility should be included for effective end user evaluation.

Citation countsare sourced monthly from Scopus and Web of Science citation databases.
These databases contain citations from different subsets of available publications and different time periods and thus the citation count from each is usually different. Some works are not in either database and no count is displayed. Scopus includes citations from articles published in 1996 onwards, and Web of Science generally from 1980 onwards.
