English Abstract

This work focuses on studying the most common Software Product Quality Attributes (SWPQAs) concepts and terminologies that current SWPQAs proposals present, in order to extract a conceptualization for the SWPQAs domain.

We collected and studied many documents and reports that discussed SWPQAs in their contents, we extracted, studied, evaluated, and enhanced an ontology domain concepts from the most common concepts used in the semantic of the collected documents.

Later we extracted and presented general relationships between the suggested ontology concepts.

Those presented concepts along with the extracted relationships are introduced as an ontology that is considered as a first in the specific domain of SWPQAs.

We condensed the thousands of concepts used to define the most common discussed and studied SWPQAs into a smaller set of concepts consists of 125 concepts, with a coverage percentage for the studied domain of 80%, this presented ontology can be used by software engineers, researchers, practitioners, and stakeholders as a common agreement of SWPQAs pool of knowledge in order to solve the inconsistency problem in the semantic between them while defining or using any of the definintions of the discussed SWPQAs.

In addition to this, our ontology provides a base to evaluate any related presented definition semantic for one of the studied attributes.
