The ISO/IEC 25010 standard provides consistent terminology for “specifying, measuring and evaluating system and software product quality”.1) The Consortium for Information & Software Quality (CISQ) 2) provides the following diagram, highlighting eight ISO defined software quality characteristics and their associated sub-characteristics.3) These ISO defined characteristics must be applied to both DIDO software and coinage organizations (e.g., Bitcoin, Ethereum, IOTA), especially Reliability, Performance Efficiency, Security, and Maintainability, since these are candidates for automation.
Management is part of SQuaRE and defines all common models, terms, and definitions referenced by all other standards from the SQuaRE series.
Modeling is part of SQuaRE and provides detailed quality models for computer systems and software products, quality in use, and data.
Measurement is part of SQuaRE and includes a software product quality measurement reference model, mathematical definitions of quality measures, and practical guidance for their application.
Requirements are part of SQuaRE and help specify quality requirements. These quality requirements can be used in the process of quality requirements elicitation for a software product to be developed, or as input for an evaluation process.
Evaluation is part of SQuaRE and provides requirements, recommendations, and guidelines for software product evaluation.
