Abstract

Background:

The quality requirements for medical software have become increasingly demanding. Several quality standards and models are already in place, but there is a debate on whether these are specific enough for medical software. Moreover, mapping requirements to quality criteria can be challenging but is required throughout the software development process.

Objectives:

We propose a workflow in which we apply proven methods and tools for systematic collection, analysis, and evaluation of software quality criteria based on the ISO/IEC 25010:2011.

Methods:

We employ affinity diagrams, Kano analysis and quality function deployment for the systematic requirement development, analysis, and management.

Results:

We outline a systematic approach on how to use the recommended process when developing medical software.

Conclusion:

The paper proposes a systematic approach for requirements management that could be used for mapping medical software quality criteria and stakeholder requirements, independent from the quality criteria (and the underlying model) itself.
