QE SCORE
Quality Engineering: built-in quality from the design phase
'Elevate your app quality right from the design phase with the QE Score'
Quality Engineering (QE) goes beyond software testing. It encompasses a comprehensive approach to quality, integrated throughout the entire development lifecycle. Its goal is to ensure robust, high-performance, and secure applications from the design stage, relying on automation and continuous analysis of key metrics. The QE Score is fully aligned with this approach, measuring the quality maturity of projects and supporting their continuous improvement.
01
Reactive Quality Approach
◼ No automated tests
◼ No CI/CD, manual deployments
◼ Numerous bugs in production
02
Initial Quality Approach
◼ Unit and integration tests
◼ First CI/CD pipelines
◼ Code analysis tools
03
Structured Quality Approach
◼ Adoption of DevOps practices
◼ Automation of UI, API, performance, and security testing
◼ Implementation of the QE Score
04
Integrated Quality Approach
◼ Frequent deployments
◼ Quality & secu integrated from the development stage
◼ Strategy based on QE Score metrics
05
Predictive Quality Approach
◼ Automatic detection of issues
◼ Self-adaptive tests (AI, Machine Learning)
◼ AI deviation control based on QE Score
Quality Engineering : why use a score ?
'Evaluate the quality of your application developments based on common rules and criteria'
🌡Comparison
Evaluate the quality maturity of applications through a standardized scoring system.
⏲ Improvement
Identify key improvement areas to elevate application quality.
💬 Communication
Communicate an objective score to ensure quality is transparent across all levels.
👁️🗨️ Visibility
Deliver actionable insights on functional quality, performance, and security.
☑ Empowerment
Make clear and actionable metrics available to each team.
Quality Engineering Score: objectives and impacts
'From deployment to maintenance: the measurable benefits of the QE Score'
CFR
Reduction of the Change Failure Rate (CFR) → Fewer failures during production deployments
MTTR
Improvement of the Mean Time to Restore (MTTR) → Faster recovery in case of an incident
Rollbacks
Reduction of rollbacks and hotfixes → Fewer rollbacks during deployments
Lead Time
Optimization of lead time and deployment frequency → More frequent deployments
Stability
Better stability and reliability of applications → Improved user experience
Maintenance
Less corrective maintenance → Optimization of IT costs
Standardization
Standardization of quality practices at scale → Facilitates agile/devops scaling
Prioritization
Helps with technical and product prioritization → Focus on high ROI actions
