The rapid growth of the quantum computing market has become a response to the need to address problems that traditional computers cannot solve efficiently. Quantum computing will not replace traditional computing; rather, the two will coexist in hybrid systems. As with conventional software, evaluating and ensuring the quality of these new hybrid s...

Este estudio explora cómo la Ingeniería del Software Clásico, especialmente la ingeniería dirigida por modelos en testing, puede contribuir a la mejora de la Ingeniería del Software Cuántico (Quantum Software Engineering, QSE). Adoptando principios de "agnosticismo", se busca desarrollar procesos de ingeniería del software que sean independientes d...

Until now, the quality problems of quantum software have been largely ignored. This chapter analyzes the applicability of models and metrics for quantum software and, to mitigate this lack of attention to quality issues, presents a set of metrics that have been proposed and empirically validated to characterize the complexity of quantum circuits in...

In the context of quantum-classical hybrid computing, evaluating analysability, which is the ease of understanding and modifying software, presents significant challenges due to the complexity and novelty of quantum algorithms. Although advances have been made in quantum software development, standard software quality evaluation methods do not full...

El notable desarrollo de la computación cuántica surge en respuesta a la necesidad de abordar problemas que resultan intratables para las computadoras convencionales. No obstante, es fundamental destacar que la computaci ón cuántica no reemplazará a la computación tradicional, sino que ambas coexistirán en sistemas híbridos. Similar al escenario ob...

For decades, both software engineering researchers and practitioners have been concerned with software quality. This work summarizes the difficulties encountered in the quest for transferring to the industry the research work conducted on software metrics, which led to the creation of a spinoff/start-up that became an international accredited labor...

Given the rapid evolution that has taken place in recent years in the software industry, and along with it the emergence of quantum software, there is a need to design an environment for measuring quality metrics for hybrid, classic-quantum software. In order to measure and evaluate the quality of classic software, there are models and standards,...

One of the issues that organizations need to address when they intend to launch a data governance program is to know their level of maturity with respect to data governance, data management, and data quality management. By doing so, they will be able to estimate whether they are sufficiently well prepared to address the objectives that have been in...

Master data has been revealed as one of the most potent instruments to guarantee adequate levels of data quality. The main contribution of this paper is a data quality model to guide repeatable and homogeneous evaluations of the level of data quality of master data repositories. This data quality model follows several international open standards:...

Quantum computing technology is revolutionizing the current world and is enabling the creation of advanced applications in various fields, such as healthcare and economics. However, for the industry to carry out mass production of quantum software, it is crucial to ensure an adequate level of quality. However, as quantum technologies move towards p...

Organizations continuously generate and manage extensive amounts of data for specific purposes, such as making informed decisions or monitoring certain parameters. It is not only essential to obtain the data; how it is obtained, stored, and maintained is equally, if not more, valuable. Data quality is a crucial factor for any organization because i...

Data governance is an important activity for data-centric digital transformation. One of the main elements of data governance is a data maturity model. In this paper, we summarize the main existing data maturity models. We also describe the Alarcos’ Model for Data Maturity (MAMD in Spanish). MAMD is an ISO/IEC 33000-based framework for data governa...

Data quality evaluation is built upon data quality measurement results. The former uses the “data quality rules” representing the risk appetite of the organization to decide on the usability of the data; the latter uses the business rules describing the “data requirements” or also called “data specification” to determine the validity of the data. C...

Sustainability has become an important engine of change for both society and organizations. The latter have realized that sustainability goes far beyond preserving the environment and the implementation and improvement of sustainable practices is helping them to be increasingly effective and efficient in their processes and operations. One of the b...

While, historically, software quality focused on identifying and mitigating defects, today, companies that want to digitally transform their products and services are changing the manner and scope of their quality assurance processes. Based on the ISO/IEC 33000 family of standards for process assessment, we have built a new maturity model called MM...

Software quality matters-more than ever. Software has become the most crucial infrastructure in this century. All businesses is software businesses because they based their operations and services in the Internet of Things, business intelligence (BI), artificial intelligence, cloud computing, social networks, and so forth. Classic IT and embedded s...

Software has become the keystone in many firms, regardless of the particular sector a company belongs to. Apart from bearing the greater part of the business value of the organisation, software makes it possible to leverage a radical digitalisation of many companies, even for those with a business model that is not IT-intensive. That makes it vital...

The Internet-of-Things (IoT) introduces several technical and managerial challenges when it comes to the use of data generated and exchanged by and between various Smart, Connected Products (SCPs) that are part of an IoT system (i.e., physical, intelligent devices with sensors and actuators). Added to the volume and the heterogeneous exchange and c...
