Software becomes ever more feature-rich and thereby harder to distinguish based on its functionality. Quality now differentiates between similar software products. Specifying, constructing, and assuring quality has been under research for several decades and continues to be a long-term research area, because of its many facets and its complexity. Current national and international initiatives show that there is an active research community in academia and industry.
We are happy to welcome you the 8th International Workshop on Software Quality (WoSQ'11). The series of workshops on software quality are a forum to discuss and advance the state-of-the-art research and practice in software quality. This year's edition of the workshop is co-located with the joint meeting of the European Software Engineering Conference and the ACM SIGSOFT Symposium on the Foundations of Software Engineering and brings some changes in the workshop format. We still have a keynote and paper presentations, but there is also a discussion session to bring up new topics and for the attendees to share their experiences.
The call for papers attracted 11 submissions from Canada, Germany, Hungary, Italy, Japan, Turkey, the United Kingdom, and the United States. Out of these submissions, the program committee accepted 7 papers that cover a variety of topics, including data quality, quality models, in-process metrics and security analysis. In addition, the program includes a keynote talk by Motoei Azuma, emeritus professor at Waseda University, Tokyo, Japan.

The impact of ICT evolution and application explosion on software quality: a solution by ISO/IEC 250nn square series of standards
The Keynote Speech "The Impact of ICT Evolution and Application Explosion on Software Quality -- A solution by ISO/IEC 250nn SQuaRE Series of Standards" at WoSQ 2011 is outlined
A unifying model for software quality
Assuring high quality of software is crucial, but a highly complex topic. It is intermingled with most disciplines of software engineering, which have developed their own quality assurance approaches. However, they lack a common foundation, which leads ...
Do software process improvements lead to ISO 9126 architectural quality factor improvement
This paper presents preliminary results of a systematic review performed to determine the impacts of Software Process Improvements (SPI) on developers' activities and on architectural quality. The analysis shows that most SPI research focuses on the ...
A software quality model for SOA
Service-oriented architectures (SOAs) are well established as an architectural paradigm for distributed systems. With software systems becoming more and more complex over time, quality assurance becomes increasingly important. A clear understanding of ...
An explanatory analysis on eclipse beta-release bugs through in-process metrics
Failures after the release of software products are expensive and time-consuming to fix. Each of these failures has different reasons pointing into different portions of code. We conduct a retrospective analysis on bugs reported after beta release of ...
Introduction of Japan's investigation activities on systems and software product quality metrics
In order to realize an environment where safe and secure system/software products can be used in daily life and social economic activities, it is required to visualize the quality of the product, evaluate whether it meets the user's needs objectively ...
The use of application scanners in software product quality assessment
Software development needs continuous quality control for a timely detection and removal of quality problems. This includes frequent quality assessments, which need to be automated as far as possible to be feasible. One way of automation in assessing ...
A process for assessing data quality
Abstract: This industrial report stems from practical experience in assessing the quality of customer databases. The process it describes unites three automated audits, - an audit of the database schema, an audit of the database structure and an audit ...
