Introduction to ISO/IEC 25010:2023 and SQuaRE
ISO/IEC 25010:2023 establishes standards for software maintainability, ensuring that software can be easily modified and updated. The SQuaRE framework complements these standards by offering tools for evaluating maintainability, helping organizations create adaptable, sustainable software.
Why Maintainability Matters
Software that is easy to maintain reduces operational costs and extends its useful life. ISO/IEC 25010:2023 highlights maintainability as a key quality attribute, supporting organizations in creating applications that can be updated with minimal disruption.
Maintainability Standards in ISO/IEC 25010:2023
ISO/IEC 25010:2023 defines several factors crucial for maintainability:
- Modularity: Assesses if software is divided into easily manageable parts.
- Reusability: Measures the ability to reuse software components in other applications.
- Analyzability: Ensures that software can be easily analyzed for faults and improvements.
- Modifiability: Evaluates the ease with which software can be updated.
- Testability: Assesses if software can be tested effectively to ensure quality.
Using SQuaRE to Enhance Maintainability
The SQuaRE model provides a framework for improving maintainability throughout the development cycle. By applying SQuaRE guidelines, organizations can create software that is modular, reusable, and easy to test and update, ensuring its sustainability over time.
Conclusion
ISO/IEC 25010:2023 and SQuaRE are essential for developing maintainable software. QMII’s training equips participants with the knowledge to apply these standards effectively, making it easier to build software that adapts to changing requirements and minimizes maintenance costs.
