  • Abstract
    DesCOTS is a system that has an aim to help clients in the selection of COTS components. This system is based in the use of quality models associated to a software domain for evaluating the products in that domain, and for defining in a formal way the requirements of the clients for finding a suitable product in that domain. The evaluation and the formal definition of requirements are facilitated by metrics of each quality entity in the quality models. Our ISO/IEC 9126-1 based quality models are a set of quality entities structured in hierarchies of characteristics, subcharacteristics and attributes; with possible intermediate hierarchies of sub-characteristics and attributes
