Software Quality Assurance in Large Scale and Complex Software-intensive Systems presents novel
and high-quality research related approaches that relate the quality of software architecture
to system requirements system architecture and enterprise-architecture or software testing.
Modern software has become complex and adaptable due to the emergence of globalization and new
software technologies devices and networks. These changes challenge both traditional software
quality assurance techniques and software engineers to ensure software quality when building
today (and tomorrow's) adaptive context-sensitive and highly diverse applications. This
edited volume presents state of the art techniques methodologies tools best practices and
guidelines for software quality assurance and offers guidance for future software engineering
research and practice. Each contributed chapter considers the practical application of the
topic through case studies experiments empirical validation or systematic comparisons with
other approaches already in practice. Topics of interest include but are not limited to:
quality attributes of system software architectures aligning enterprise system and software
architecture from the point of view of total quality design decisions and their influence on
the quality of system software architecture methods and processes for evaluating architecture
quality quality assessment of legacy systems and third party applications lessons learned and
empirical validation of theories and frameworks on architectural quality empirical validation
and testing for assessing architecture quality.
