R&D - Q-Val

The Q-Val aims to develop a methodology that is a fundamental tool for web application validation processes, by facilitating the pre-validation analysis and acting as a guide throughout the process to insure that no important aspects are overlooked.

What is Q-Val

Q-Val is the methodology developed by SQS to validate website applications. It allows your quality to be assessed systematically, while taking into account the very characteristics of the application and its development process.

Q-Val enables you to define the requirements (whether functional or non-functional) to be met by the web application so that it can be considered as a quality web application that functions correctly.

It is therefore essential for the web application validation processes. It facilitates the pre-validation analysis and guides through the process to ensure that no important aspects are ignored.

What it is based on

The Q-Val base is a complete and highly structured set of requirements that are subject to constant monitoring and updating.

In order to define these requirements, the most extensive range of models, recommendations, web quality standards and stamps are studied. The Q-Val quality framework is based on all of the above, together with SQS's knowledge and experience in software quality.

How Q-Val is organised

Q-Val uses a complicated structure of facets organised in categories which facilitates its adaptation to the different website applications. The facets are applicable depending on the type of website to be tested.

The requirements are also organised into categories divided according to the differentiated aspects involved in designing any web application, such as:

  • Usability and Accessibility-Security
  • Functionality-Performance
  • Architecture and design-HTML Standards
  • Others

Finally, each requirement has a priority level:

  • Mandatory
  • Highly Recommendable
  • Recommendable
  • Low Priority
