Area illustration: Software Quality

Software Quality constitutes a fundamental pillar in software engineering, directly reflecting on user satisfaction, operational efficiency, and the sustainability of computer systems. This concept encompasses a range of attributes and criteria that determine how well software meets the needs and expectations of its users and stakeholders, in addition to adhering to pre-established development standards.

To understand Software Quality, it is essential to consider two aspects: internal quality and external quality. Internal quality refers to the inherent characteristics of the software’s code and architecture, including its readability, reusability, modularity, and the ease with which it can be maintained and evolved. These attributes are critical for the developers and maintainers of the system. On the other hand, external quality relates to the user’s experience when interacting with the software, covering aspects such as usability, performance, reliability, and security. External quality is often assessed through software testing and direct feedback from users.

Standards and models have been developed to assist in the evaluation and assurance of software quality, among which ISO/IEC 25010:2011, also known as SQuaRE (System and Software Quality Requirements and Evaluation), and CMMI (Capability Maturity Model Integration) stand out. The ISO/IEC 25010 model, for instance, defines a set of quality characteristics, subdivided into sub-characteristics, that provide a framework for software evaluation. Such characteristics include functionality, performance efficiency, compatibility, usability, reliability, security, maintainability, and portability.

The implementation of software quality assurance practices is a continuous process, starting in the early stages of software conception and extending throughout its life cycle. It involves the application of agile development methodologies, continuous integration, automated testing, code reviews, and other software engineering practices aimed at identifying and correcting defects early, improving development efficiency, and ensuring that the final product meets or exceeds user expectations.

In summary, software quality is not an attribute that can be added after development; it must be an intrinsic consideration at every stage of the software development process. A systematic approach to quality management is important for delivering software products that not only function as expected but also provide a satisfactory user experience, remain relevant and evolvable in the face of market demands and technological challenges.

    Gamification for Project Governance: A Case Study in a High-Maturity Software Factory

    Master's Thesis in Applied Computing, University of Brasília (Brazil)

    2026
    This study evaluated the application of gamification to project management in a high-maturity software factory (CMMI Level 5), a setting in which governance and audit rituals often generate bureaucratic overhead and operational resistance. Given the contractual constraints that limit the use of extrinsic financial incentives, the study empirically evaluated gamification as a strategy to increase the engagement of project leaders and managers in operational governance routines. The solution was embedded into the legacy corporate tools (Jira and Confluence) under the principle of workflow continuity, with ten game techniques allocated according to the motivational profile previously diagnosed within the team. The evaluation was carried out through a longitudinal industrial case study conducted with 12 professionals in leadership roles over twelve months, comparing six months of a gamified pilot with a historical baseline of equal duration drawn from the same team. Throughput, the rate of delayed demands, defect density and the motivational profile assessed by the Intrinsic Motivation Inventory (IMI), applied as a pre- and post-test, were analyzed. The operational indicators showed modest variations — a 7.16% increase in throughput and a 1.77 percentage point reduction in the delay rate, with no deterioration in technical quality —, accompanied by a marked decline in the perceived overhead, evidenced by a 0.91-point reduction in the IMI Pressure/Tension item. An exploratory pattern was also identified, termed behavioral asymmetry, characterized by faster adherence to normative routines than to spontaneous collaborative actions. Low-intrusion gamification thus proved feasible in formalized governance environments, with a clearer effect on reducing bureaucratic friction than on increasing intrinsic motivation.

    Gamification as a Teaching Strategy for Code Smell Identification

    Bachelor of Software Engineering - University of Brasília (Brazil) • Brasília, DF

    2026
    This paper addresses the recurring difficulty faced by programming students in identifying code smells, a challenge that affects the understanding, maintenance, and evolution of software systems. The main goal is to propose a gamified solution that supports learning and makes the detection of these issues more accessible and motivating. The methodology follows a qualitative approach with exploratory, descriptive, and applied characteristics, integrating bibliographic research and a case study. The methodological process included contextual analysis, definition of motivational profiles, ideation and prototyping of mechanics, followed by usability tests, observation of the application's use, and documentation of all stages and results. The proposed platform will allow students to practice identifying code smells in simulated scenarios, receive immediate feedback, and progress through incremental challenges.
