Abstract :
The Squale project was born from industrial effort to control software quality. Its goals are to refine and enhance Qualixo model, a software-metric based quality model already used by large companies in France (Air France-KLM, PSA Peugeot-Citroen) and to support the estimation of return on investment produced by software quality. Qualixo model is a software quality model based on the aggregation of software metrics into higher level indicators called practices, criterias and factors. The coordination of Squale is carried out by Qualixo.
