Andreiko V. The development to the methods of measuring instruments software quality estimation

The dissertation is devoted for solving the important scientific and engineering problem - development of scientific and methodical basis for measuring instrumentation software quality evaluation using new methods development or existing methods improvement for software qualimetry. Scientific novelty of the obtained results. A model of the software qualitic scale based on the Fibonacci series was used for the first time to quantify the results of the determination of qualitative indicators, which provides the best characteristics when approximating the linear function, in the comparison with the traditional uniform interval scale and the scale constructed on the basis of the Harrington function. New principles of the "Quality Tree" and "Tree of Measured Quality Characteristics" were developed for the first time by scaling the length of the "tree branches" in proportion to the numerical characteristics of the software quality indicators, which made it possible to visually assess the quality of the evaluation elements, metrics, criteria, factors and the generalized indicator quality. The hierarchical structure of the software quality indicators in the national and international normative documents has been improved, and the methods of defining these indicators have been developed, which allows adapting these regulatory documents for software product certification. The methods of evaluating the software quality indicators of measuring devices were further developed by forming a generalized quality index, which allows comparing similar types of software. The practical significance of the results obtained is to develop a test procedure for software certification, the introduction into the production activities of the Research Laboratory of Testing Software Programs of the Galician Academy, which provided, starting in 2014, testing of 15 software products; development of the method 407368.00001-01 "The program of verification of domestic gas meters. Program and test method" introduced into the production activities of the IMF "Tempo"; its use has ensured, annually, starting from 2010, the software testing 10 calibration gas meters; the scientific results obtained in the work are introduced into the educational process of the Department of Information Technologies and Software Engineering at King Danylo University in teaching disciplines: "Software and Test Quality", "Software Documentation". New technical solutions for determining the software time parameters of gas volume measuring complexes, which are developed in the dissertation, are protected by the patent of Ukraine for the invention.
