Regarding the quality in the development of software products and in engineering education of information technologies, one is unable to speak about an equipollent quality and a single quality model. Quality needs to be evaluated from different points of view, and thus, various objects – processes, intermediate results, and the end products require the assessment. A great experience of quality assurance in the software development has been obtained both on the level of the process quality and the level of the end product quality evaluation. Various quality models of software products and methods of quality evaluation have been developed. Besides the methodical and scientific publications, they are recorded in many international standards of software engineering. A voluminous description of quality requirements, models, and methods is included into the new ISO 25000 series of software standards. The definitions of quality, and approaches of quality assurance and quality improvement as well as the ways for quality understanding and control are usually discussed in the sphere of engineering education. The significance of quality evaluation and the obligation of an education institution to perform quality evaluation regularly has become a frequent topic for discussion; while the requirements of such evaluation and the implementation procedures are not specified yet. The authors of the present paper demonstrate the adaption of the software product quality models for engineering education of information technologies.
