Abstract
The paper aims at presenting a method of controlling software quality attributes driven by the set of requirements. This is done in three steps: specifying all the requirements, mapping them to quality attributes and controlling the development process against the demanded quality. The steps adapt and integrate well-known patterns of requirements specification and weighting, evaluation of the software demanded quality, and measuring the development process. A supporting prototype tool and the relatred example of a distributed application assist in requirements specification and their mapping to quality characteristics, while the latter step is discussed in draft. Some further research problems and questions are shown.
