VARIABLES TO SELECT SOFTWARE
1.1 Generalities
Currently, companies have various computer systems to
carry out the tasks of the different areas it has.
The systems currently used in a company cover the
Production, Commercial, and Administration departments. Each one with
a software tailored to your needs, but with almost no interconnections, and what is
The goal is to achieve in a single program the manipulation of the generated information.
for these departments and that from the different departments it can
consult the required information.
1.2 Internal Variables
This group considers all the characteristics of the product of
software from an internal perspective. The details of the product quality of
software represented by the internal quality remains unchanged unless
to be redesigned.
INTERNAL VARIABLES
MATURITY AND
FUNCTIONALITY RELIABILITY
ADAPTATION SECURITY TOLERANCE

To errors
FUNCTIONALITY: The ability of the software product to provide
las funciones que satisfacen las necesidades explicitas e implícitas
when the software is used under specific conditions.
It refers to what the software does to meet needs.
while the other characteristics mainly refer to
when and how they meet needs.
ADAPTATION: The ability of the software product to provide a
suitable set of functions for tasks and objectives
specified by the user. An example of adequacy is the
task-oriented composition of functions from sub-functions
what constitutes them and the capabilities of the tables.
SECURITY: The ability of the software product to protect
information and data so that users or systems do not
authorized to read or modify them, and to the people or
authorized systems should not be denied access to them.
Security in a broad sense is defined as a characteristic of the
quality in use, as it is not only related to the software, but also with
a whole system.
RELIABILITY: The ability of the software product to
maintain a specific level of maintenance when one is
using under specified conditions.
Wear or aging does not occur in software. The limitations
in reliability are due to failures in requirements, design and
implementation. The failures due to these errors depend on the
manner in which the software product and the options are used
selected programs, more than the time elapsed.
MATURITY AND TOLERANCE TO ERRORS: Maturity is the capacity
of the software product to prevent failures as a result of errors in
the software.
The fault tolerance is the ability of the software product to
maintain a specified level of operation in case of errors
software or non-compliance with its specified interface. The level
operation specifications may include lack of capacity to
security.

evaluated in a simulated environment, with simulated data and using metrics

INTEROPERABILITY: The capability of the software product to
interact with one or more specified systems. Interoperability
it is used instead of compatibility to avoid potential ambiguity
with replaceability.
EFFICIENCY: The ability of the software product to provide a
adequate performance, according to the amount of resources used and
under the proposed conditions.
BEHAVIOR OF TIMES AND RESOURCE UTILIZATION: The
behavior of times: The ability of the software product to
provide appropriate response and processing times and indicators
of performance when it performs its function under the conditions
established.
The use of resources: the software product's ability to
use appropriate amounts and types of resources when it operates
under established conditions
PORTABILITY: The ability of the software product to be
transfer from one environment to another, which can be hardware or software.
ADAPTABILITY: The ability of the software product to be
adapted to different environments without applying different actions or means
of those planned for the purpose of the considered software
COEXISTENCE: The product's ability to coexist with others
independent software products within the same environment,
sharing common resources.
USABILITY: The ability of the software product to be understood,
learned, used, and appealing to the user, when it is used under the
specified conditions.
UNDERSTANDING: The capability of the software product to allow
to help the user understand if the software is suitable, and how it can be
used for the tasks and the specific conditions of the application.
OPERATIONALITY: The ability of the software product to allow
user operate it and control it
