Abstract

Embedded systems are increasingly used in our daily life due to their importance. They are computer platforms consisting of hardware and software. They run specific tasks to realize functional and non functional requirements. Several specific quality attributes were identified as relevant to the embedded system domain. However, the existent general quality models do not address clearly these specific quality attributes. Hence, the proposition of quality models which address the relevant quality attributes of embedded systems needs more attention and investigation. The major goal of this paper is to propose a new quality model (called ESQuMo for Embedded Software Quality Model) which provides a better understanding of quality in the context of embedded software. Besides, it focuses the light on the relevant attributes of the embedded software and addresses clearly the importance of these attributes. In fact, ESQuMo is based on the well-established ISO/IEC 25010 standard quality model.

A growing number of works are concerned with quality models and quality attributes of software products. However, only few have targeted the embedded software products. The proposition of new quality models that address the specific properties of embedded software is due to the lack of a standard quality model that unifies and covers these properties, as well as the common characteristics of the ordinary software.

Many quality models have been emerged such as the one proposed by Ahrens et al. (2013), a quality model for driver assistance systems. Nevertheless, it is very limited and restricted for driver assistance products.

Jeong & Kim (2012) proposed a quality model for embedded systems based on DeLone and McLean success model. The lack of this work is the absence of a clear meta-model that facilitate the interpretation of the proposed model.
