Functionality Evaluation Model for Machine Translation Systems

Аннотация

The principal concepts, models and methods for software quality evaluation are presented. Since the definitions of functionality in the existing standards for software quality evaluation are inconsistent, this concept here is defined as a particular case of the concept of quality in qualimetry as applied to software quality evaluation. A generalized model for software functionality evaluation is proposed. A functionality evaluation model for machine translation systems that was developed based on it and can be a prototype for more detailed models is given. Some ways to use such models to evaluate the functionality of machine translation systems numerically are considered.
