	Software quality - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Quality of software is a conformance to requirements.
		The study of theoretical software reliability is predominantly concerned with the concept of correctness, a mathematical field of computer science which is an outgrowth of language and automata theory.
		A software quality factor is a non-functional requirement for a software program which is not called up by the customer's contract, but nevertheless is a desirable requirement which enhances the quality of the software program.

	Software Quality Assurance
		The goal is to develop precise measurements for software quality, but this is sometimes frustrated by the subjective nature of the activity.
		The challenge is to determine the precise relationship between the variable that is measured and the quality of software.
		The certification of software quality is given in terms of its measured reliability over a probability distribution of usage scenarios in statistical testing.
