20.500.12556/DKUM-92411 Software quality: how much does it matter? Interconnected computers and software systems have become an indispensable part of people’s lives in the period of digital transformation. Consequently, software quality research is becoming more and more critical. There have been multiple attempts to synthesise knowledge gained in software quality research; however, they were focused mainly on single aspects of software quality and did not structure the knowledge holistically. To fill this gap, we harvested software quality publications indexed in the Scopus bibliographic database. We analysed them using synthetic content analysis which is a triangulation of bibliometrics and content analysis. The search resulted in 15,468 publications. The performance bibliometric analysis showed that the production of research publications relating to software quality is currently following an exponential growth trend and that the software quality research community is growing. The most productive country was the United States, followed by China. The synthetic content analysis revealed that the published knowledge could be structured into six themes, the most important being the themes regarding software quality improvement by enhancing software engineering, advanced software testing and improved defect and fault prediction with machine learning and data mining. software engineering software quality knowledge synthesis bibliometrics synthetic knowledge synthesis programje bibliometrika sinteza true false true MDPI AG Angleški jezik Slovenski jezik https://www.mdpi.com/journal/electronics © 2022 by the author Članek v reviji 2025-04-07 09:38:30 2025-04-07 09:38:30 2025-04-08 03:09:59 0000-00-00 00:00:00 2022 0 0 11 str. iss. 16 Vol. 11 10 Avg. 2022 0000-00-00 Zaloznikova Objavljeno NiDoloceno 2022-07-06 2022-08-02 2022-08-10 004.5 118307075 10.3390/electronics11162485 2079-9292 electronics-11-02485.pdf electronics-11-02485.pdf 1 B6D3AFA86CEE3AAF4CEB5092D8E3C117 88e7efcfb2ef9b304d634d49fe03bad50564763c8a7baf08aa5b07a5c604da8f 82daa967-1383-11f0-9c98-00155d000105 https://dk.um.si/Dokument.php?lang=slv&id=190039 https://www.mdpi.com/2079-9292/11/16/2485 0 88201b58-1383-11f0-9c98-00155d000105 https://dk.um.si/Dokument.php?lang=slv&id=190040 Fakulteta za elektrotehniko, računalništvo in informatiko 0 0 0
