Abstract
Software quality has been and still is a continuous concern in the software technology area and numerous projects have contributed to state the art and to improve best practice: results span from contribution to world standards to methods tools and techniques covering various aspects of software quality.
Production of high quality software needs to be tackled from different angles according to the software development process (from user requirements to the product and its evolution) and to the actors involved (users, developers, managers,...).
The presentation will give a structured overview on how the various issues leading to software quality have been addressed as well as some examples of significant results achieved and on going work in the context of the European RTD programmes.
