Summary and Conclusion

From the Paper:

"The introduction of technology and features being developed in the rapid action which this occurs and to, at the same time, make improvement to the quality of the product and as well to respond to the issues of customers in product development is quite an initiative to undertake. Driving development and quality assurance of software are the technology market which is characterized by an extremely fast past and the revisions are released just as quickly. While quality is considered to be important in the high-tech marketplace new and robust features are considered even more important. (Ben-Yaacov and Gazlay, 2001) Four key measurements of the software product quality have been identified to be the technology, features, freedom from bugs and responsive support. (Ben-Yaacov and Gazlay, 2001)"
