Overview

Criteria-based assessment is a quantitative assessment of the software in terms of

sustainability, maintainability, and usability. This can inform high-level decisions on
specific areas for software improvement.

A criteria-based assessment gives a measurement of quality in a number of areas. These

areas are derived from ISO/IEC 9126-1 Software engineering — Product quality1 and
include usability, sustainability and maintainability.

The assessment involves checking whether the software, and the project that develops
it, conforms to various characteristics or exhibits various qualities that are expected of
sustainable software. The more characteristics that are satisfied, the more sustainable
the software. The more characteristics that are satisfied, the more sustainable the
software.

In performing the evaluation, you may want to consider how different user classes affect
the importance of the criteria. For example, for Usability-Understandability, a small set of
well-defined, accurate, task-oriented user documentation may be comprehensive for
Users but inadequate for Developers. Assessments specific to user classes allow the
requirements of these specific user classes to be factored in and so, for example, show
that a project rates highly for Users but poorly for Developers, or vice versa.

Scoring can also be affected by the nature of the software itself e.g. for Learnability one
could envisage an application that has been well-designed, offers context-sensitive help
etc. and consequently is so easy to use that tutorials aren’t needed. Portability can apply
to both the software and its development infrastructure can be built, compiled and tested
on Windows (and so is highly portable for Users and User-Development).
