Proceso de diseño del software para un modelo de la calidad en Cuba

Abstract

The growth of the software industry requires that companies choose to raise the quality of the products they offer,delivering them in less time and reducing their costs. Applying good practices in design guarantees quality in the final product andimproves performance indicators of the process. In this context, reference standards and models have been defined, which present aprogressive work strategy for the maturation of the software development process. Cuba has a model applicable to the context of thecountry and based on the good practices of reference models and standards, entitled Quality Model for the Development of ComputerApplications (MCDAI). The present research proposes a set of requirements to be incorporated into the MCDAI, which synthesizesthe good practices of reuse management in the software product design process. The proposal includes a graphic and textualdescription of the process, which facilitates compliance with the requirements, as well as the roles involved. A system of indicatorsis also defined to measure the utility and the level of implementation of the process. This process was submitted to focus groups anda satisfaction survey of potential users to verify the usefulness and applicability of the proposal and pilot projects to verify that it issuitable to be extended to the Cuban software industry.
