The quality of software subsuming correctness, functionality, usability, performance, timeliness, and so on is therefore a crucial issue. One common reason for software bugs is a lack of processes. However, there are various ways to improve and assure software quality--technical and process-oriented ones.
- Communication of current trends related to software quality
- Identification of future trends and problems
- Initiation of knowledge transfer in the field of software quality between academia and industry
