What is ISO/IEC 25010:2023?
ISO/IEC 25010:2023 is part of the SQuaRE (Software Quality Requirements and Evaluation) framework, designed to assess and improve software quality across its lifecycle. The standard defines quality attributes that ensure software meets user expectations and technical requirements effectively.
The Role of SQuaRE in Quality Assurance
The SQuaRE model supports software quality assurance by providing measurable evaluation criteria. It divides quality into two perspectives:
- Product Quality: Assessing internal and external software attributes such as security, functionality, and usability.
- Quality in Use: Measuring user-centric outcomes, including efficiency, satisfaction, and risk mitigation.
Key Software Quality Characteristics
ISO/IEC 25010:2023 identifies eight key characteristics for evaluating software quality:
- Functional Suitability: Meeting defined functional requirements.
- Performance Efficiency: Optimizing response time, resource usage, and capacity.
- Compatibility: Ensuring interoperability with other systems.
- Usability: Enhancing user experience and accessibility.
- Reliability: Ensuring stability and fault tolerance.
- Security: Protecting against unauthorized access and vulnerabilities.
- Maintainability: Facilitating ease of updates and modifications.
- Portability: Ensuring functionality across diverse environments.
Steps to Implement ISO/IEC 25010 for QA
Implementing ISO/IEC 25010 involves the following steps:
- Define Quality Objectives: Align goals with business and user requirements.
- Evaluate Existing Processes: Conduct a gap analysis to identify areas for improvement.
- Establish Metrics: Set measurable KPIs for each software quality characteristic.
- Conduct Testing: Perform internal and external evaluations using SQuaRE guidelines.
- Implement Improvements: Address identified gaps to enhance software performance and reliability.
- Monitor Continuously: Ensure ongoing evaluations and refinements for sustained quality.
Benefits for Organizations
Organizations that implement ISO/IEC 25010:2023 gain the following benefits:
- Improved Software Quality: Deliver reliable, functional, and efficient products.
- Risk Mitigation: Identify and resolve issues early in the software lifecycle.
- Cost Reduction: Lower maintenance costs through streamlined processes.
- User Satisfaction: Provide intuitive, accessible, and secure software solutions.
