What is ISO/IEC 25010:2023?
The ISO/IEC 25010:2023 standard outlines the Software Quality Requirements and Evaluation (SQuaRE) framework. It defines the characteristics necessary for software quality assurance, enabling organizations to measure, manage, and improve the quality of their software products and systems.
What is the SQuaRE Framework?
The SQuaRE (Software Product Quality Requirements and Evaluation) model provides a structured approach to assessing software quality. It includes two key components:
- Product Quality: Evaluates software based on functionality, reliability, usability, performance, and security.
- Quality in Use: Focuses on the end-user experience, including effectiveness, efficiency, and satisfaction.
Key Software Quality Characteristics
ISO/IEC 25010 identifies eight key characteristics for evaluating software quality:
- Functional Suitability: Does the software meet functional requirements?
- Performance Efficiency: How well does the software perform under various conditions?
- Compatibility: Does the software work seamlessly with other systems?
- Usability: Is the software user-friendly and accessible?
- Reliability: How stable and fault-tolerant is the software?
- Security: Does the software protect against unauthorized access and breaches?
- Maintainability: How easy is it to update and modify the software?
- Portability: Can the software function across different platforms and environments?
Benefits of Implementing ISO/IEC 25010
Organizations implementing ISO/IEC 25010:2023 gain significant advantages, including:
- Improved Software Quality: Meet customer expectations with reliable and efficient software.
- Risk Reduction: Identify and resolve software defects early in the development cycle.
- Cost Savings: Minimize rework, maintenance costs, and resource wastage.
- Enhanced User Experience: Deliver software that is effective, efficient, and user-friendly.
