More product quality with Quasar

Barely any product today is created without a significant proportion of software. High product quality can only be achieved through high software quality. This involves more than just high-quality code. For example, the quality of the user experience cannot be measured using classic static code analysis, but it has a major influence on the quality of the end product.

Quasar is an AI platform for the comprehensive and continuous measurement of quality aspects for software products.

The foundation for high product quality is already laid in the early phases of software engineering, when requirements are collected, features are conceived and experiences are designed. The choice of software architecture determines the runtime behavior and maintainability, and is therefore another important quality aspect. Last but not least, documentation, both in the code and beyond, is an aspect of product quality, especially when it comes to proving compliance with certain regulations.

The earlier a quality defect is identified, the easier it is to rectify. An accurate picture of the quality of a software-intensive product requires continuous and comprehensive measurement of many aspects of quality.

Measuring multiple aspects of quality is time-consuming and requires expertise, especially when these aspects go beyond static analysis.

Quasar is a solution that enables the continuous automated measurement of various quality aspects. Various modules are available on the Quasar platform. Each of these modules is specialized in the measurement of a specific quality aspect. The platform connects the relevant data sources (e.g. repositories, file repositories with documents, etc.) and thus provides the modules with the required information securely.

Each module is based on established quality models: Standards, metrics from practice or heuristics used by experts and specialists. With the help of generative artificial intelligence, it is then possible to carry out an automated quality assessment.

The quality assessment can consider various artifacts: Concepts, designs and mockups, architecture documents, documentation and code. Quasar therefore not only enables the quality assessment of stable software products, but also the continuous assessment of quality aspects at different stages of implementation, thus creating transparent insights into the quality of software-intensive products.
