AQCLab participated in the 1st Conference of the Spanish Software Testing Qualifications Board (SSTQB), which took place on the 8th of May in Madrid (Spain), with the talk "Evaluación y Certificación del Producto Software con ISO/IEC 25000" ("Software Product Evaluation and Certification in conformance with ISO/IEC 25000").
The purpose of this presentation was twofold: first to present the complete ecosystem for evaluation, improvement and certifcation of software product quality based in the international standard ISO/IEC 25000, and second, discuss the Maintainability and Functional Suitability quality characteristics, currently evaluated by the accredited laboratory AQClab and certified by the certification body AENOR.
AQCLab participated in the conference "Towards Software Product Quality for Developers and Clients" (Verso la Qualita Del Prodotto Software per Produttori ed Utillizzatori), which took place in Bari (Italy) on the 20th of March of 2015.
AQCLab, in collaboration with AENOR y Ser&Practices, presented Software Product Quality Evaluation and Certification Ecosystem, in which the laboratoty AQCLab is responsible for conducting software product quality evaluations.
AQCLab participated in XP2014, 15th International Conference on Agile Software Development, which took place in Rom, Italy between the 26th and 30th of May, 2014.
AQCLab presented the paper "Using Agile Methods to Implement a Laboratory for Software Product Quality Evaluation" in the Research: Methods and Metrics session on Wednesday 28. In the talk it was discussed how the implementation of an accredited software quality evaluation laboratory was carried out following an adaptation of the agile methodology Scrum.
AENOR, Spanish Association for Normalization and Certification, has issued the first software product quality certificates in conformance with the international standards ISO/IEC 25000.
Enxenio, Sicaman and Bitware are the first companies to be granted the certificate for one of their software products. To do so, AENOR has counted on the collaboration of the laboratory AQCLab, which has carried out the quality evaluations needed to obtain the certificate.
AQCLab has recently become the first accredited laboratory in Spain for Software Product Quality Evaluation Tests. Accreditation conforming to the ISO/IEC 17025 standard confirms the technical competence of the laboratory and ensures reliability in the results of the tests performed. To do so, the accreditation body ENAC performs a thorough evaluation of all the factors that contributing to laboratories obtaining reliable results: qualification of personnel, appropriate and validated methods and procedures, adequacy of equipment and infrastructure, technics for quality evaluation of the results, etc.
Software quality evaluations carried out by AQCLab took the international standard ISO/IEC 25000 as a basis. This way, the evaluation process is based on ISO/IEC 25040, while the quality model that sets the quality characteristics and subcharacteristics evaluated on software products take ISO/IEC 25010 as reference.
Through AQCLab, ICT companies now can get an independent software product quality evaluation service, allowing them to know the quality of the product they are developing and/or acquiring, and using it as a distinctive feature against their competition.
