QUALGEN: Modeling and Analysing the Quality of Evolving Software Systems

In this article we present an ongoing interuniversity research collaboration in the context of a large ERDF-funded research project aiming to enhance and support the quality of evolving software-intensive systems. The project focuses on two aspects in particular, namely the development of a quality metamodel for measuring and controlling the quality of software-related activities, and the instantiation of this framework to measure the quality of evolving libre software distributions from the point of view of different stakeholders.
