Mapeamento sistemático de métricas de qualidade para sistemas críticos

Abstract

Context: Software in which a failure causes damage to the environment or people are called Critical Systems. The quality of this type of software is a key factor when it comes to a system where its failure can have a high degree of severity. One of the aspects addressed by the area of software quality is the definition of metrics to evaluate the development process as well as the quality attributes of the system to be developed. However, the evaluation of the quality of critical systems by means of metrics is little explored. Objective: This work aims to perform a systematic mapping of metrics for the evaluation of critical systems. Method: the metrics and their calculation formulas as well as the related quality attributes were obtained from the systematic mapping of the literature. Results: The review returned 805 papers from which seven papers were selected which resulted in 67 quality metrics. Conclusions: This categorization can contribute to help stakeholders such as project managers, security analysts and software engineers in decision making for the construction of this type of system.
