Software Quality Assessment Model: A New Approach for Software Testing Tools

The process of software testing is a crucial phase in determining the quality of software, and this phase requires significant costs and a considerable amount of time for testers. This paper discusses the development of a framework for software quality assessment, involving flexible choices of software testing methods and variables in the form of an application. The method used is experimental, developing a new framework based on previous research, where previous research was limited to specific methods and testing variables. The result of this research is the creation of a new framework for software quality assessment. It is hoped that this framework can serve as a reference for software companies in evaluating software quality. In terms of complexity, this framework has the advantage of allowing a tester to choose methods with more flexible or unlimited testing variables. Regarding the estimated time and costs, with PF=4,5 and 10, the practical application complexity of the developed framework is estimated to have the best costs, time and human resources at IDR 254,240,000, with an estimated time of 3,178 work hours and 6,356 work hours with a team of 3 people.
