Abstract :
Brazil aims to achieve international standards on quality and productivity in the software sector. From 1993 onwards there are strategies and projects to reach the Brazilian objective on software quality. Since 1995 there have been nationwide surveys on software quality every 2 years. This paper highlights the main trends on software quality in Brazil based both on the results of four surveys (1995, 1997, 1999, and 2001) and on other pieces of evidence. The paper concludes that the software quality in Brazil is continuously improving.
