Applicability of Quality 4.0 Characteristics in the Software Development Process

Abstract

This paper explores the integration of Quality 4.0 into software engineering, showcasing how its frameworks enhance software development. It discusses 11 key Quality 4.0 elements—from data management to skill improvement—and their importance in software projects. The analysis suggests that DevOps and Agile boost Quality 4.0’s data, analytics, collaboration, and connectivity aspects, crucial for creating an adaptable and collaborative software environment. Traditional quality models, however, still support management, scalability, compliance, and leadership effectively. It also emphasizes the essential role of app development in software engineering, regardless of the quality approach used.
