Abstract

In the software industry, time pressure is unavoidable, and it has an impact on software developers. It could aching programming quality or predisposition impression of execution on got done with responsibilities, making them contrast from actual implementation. Time pressure is frequent in the software industry, where shorter and shorter deadlines and high client demands lead to more tight deadlines. On the other hand, the effects of time constraints have received little attention in software engineering research. This study aims to survey final-year undergraduate students studying software engineering and computer science at Pakistani universities. We select the quality factors from the software quality model, i.e., McCall's classic model – 1977 and FRUP+ – 1992. This study considers these factors: performance, productivity, accuracy, creativity, reliability, efficiency, reusability, interoperability, flexibility, maintainability, integrity, testability, and portability. All selected factors for this study are affected by the time pressure software completed on time and delivered. Still, the quality of the software system is affected and sometimes cause error and issues.
