Any organization that develops software strives to improve the quality of its products. To do this first requires an understanding\r\nof the quality of the current product version. Then, by iteratively making changes, the software can be improved with subsequent\r\nversions. But this must be done in a systematic and methodical way, and, for this purpose, we have developed a specific strategy\r\ncalled SIQinU (Strategy for understanding and Improving Quality in Use). SIQinU recognizes problems of quality in use through\r\nevaluation of a real system-in-use situation and proposes product improvements by understanding and making changes to the\r\nproduct�s attributes. Then, reevaluating quality in use of the new version, improvement gains can be gauged along with the changes\r\nthat led to those improvements. SIQinU aligns with GOCAME (Goal-Oriented Context-Aware Measurement and Evaluation), a\r\nmultipurpose generic strategy previously developed for measurement and evaluation, which utilizes a conceptual framework (with\r\nontological base), a process, and methods and tools. Since defining SIQinU relies on numerous phase and activity definitions, in\r\nthis paper, we model different process views, for example, taking into account activities, interdependencies, artifacts, and roles,\r\nwhile illustrating them with excerpts from a real-case study.
