Pressman's (2010) definition of software quality is the conformance to explicitly stated functional and performance requirements, explicitly documented development standards, and implicit characteristics that are expected of all professionally developed software. The achievement of quality is a complex activity that is related with the process quality and product quality. However, still, it is not clear how product quality should apply in the development process. Frequently, the development team does not know what characteristics influence a specific entity and how these characteristics compose the quality of the product. This lack of knowledge reflects the need to define some document that serve as a valid quality specification that should be evaluated along the development process. This contribution addresses this need by introducing an ontology for document a quality scheme based on the product quality model of ISO/IEC 25010. The proposal follows this model with aims to clarify the properties that are normally present in a product and its meaning. The ontology incorporates the metric concept to represent the way in which quality should be measure. The ontology was implemented using Protégé, and it was evaluated using a set of metrics that estimate the required structural characteristics.

Resumen: Este trabajo presenta un entorno de diseño integral que permite formular diseños de arquitecturas de software destinadas a la representación de aplicaciones web. Este entorno abstrae los principales problemas identificados a nivel de diseño, planteando módulos que ayudan al arquitecto en la elaboración de diseños de calidad. Para esto, utiliza como base un metamodelo de componentes arquitectónicos que identifica un conjunto de elementos comúnmente utilizados en dichas arquitecturas. Sobre el modelo se construye una herramienta de instanciación gráfica que se complementa con la verificación de patrones de diseño a fin de garantizar su correcta aplicación.Palabras-clave: aplicación web; diseño de arquitectura; patrones de diseño. Modeling and Verification of Software Architecture Design Patterns for Cloud Computing EnvironmentsAbstract: This work presents a design environment that allows building software architecture designs for web applications. The environment is designed to solve some of the main problems identified at architectural level by proposing a set of modules that help to develop quality architectures. Its structure is based on a metamodel of architectural components that identifies a set of elements commonly used in web application architectures. Also, a graphical software tool is built using this model as a support mechanism. Such tool is completed with a verification software module that ensures the correct application of well-known web design patterns.
