In recent years, Information technology has been growing rapidly and hence software systems are widely utilized in all types of organizations. Meanwhile, the complexity of software systems is becoming higher and the requirements of software systems are also getting much higher than before. Accordingly, the software product quality is very important to its users and organizations and therefore it is an essential issue about how to assure the quality of software systems. Nowadays, many problems still exist due to the lack of adequate plan, monitor and control, and assessment of the software product quality in domestic software industry. Without an objective evaluation of software work products and final product in whole software development life cycle, the software product quality will not satisfy its users, nor are software users unable to define and further evaluate the quality of software systems they acquired. Therefore, the conflict between the software acquirers and developers often arises. This study aims at building an whole software life cycle-based software product quality management process. It can be applied to all types of software products after. The proposed software product quality management process and the assessment items can also be adjusted to fit different software products according to their attributes. The software users and developers can work together to decide the importance and the expected level of the required software quality, collect the relevant data and then analyze the actual quality level of the software work and final products. The analyzed result of the software product quality can be treated as the basis of improving the software product quality and of whether the acquired software product fulfills the users’ quality requirements. The features of the proposed software product quality management process lies on providing a standardized and practical evaluation of quality of the software work and final products in whole software life cycle, and guiding the plan, monitor and control, evaluation, and improvement of software product quality for both software acquirers and developers. Furthermore, both sides can have an agreement for working together to define and evaluate software product quality without conflicts. Finally, this study also conducted a case study to verify the proposed software product quality management process.
