Along with requirements to functionality of the software under development, the final product quality is playing an important role making it possible to distinguish this product advantages compared to the analogues. The paper formulates key concepts in the software quality assessment and considers methods of working with the non-functional requirements at various development stages. The main quality models and existing approaches to classification and formalization of the software quality attributes are presented in detail. Roles and responsibilities of the working team members are analyzed when working with the quality requirements. To demonstrate practical application of the analyzed material, a generalized model of the web application quality was elaborated in regard to the client’s part.
