Abstract:
Embedded systems have gained more and more importance in recent years, being adopted in a diversity of application areas. Due to the increasing variety and complexity of these systems, a rising demand for software quality can be observed. Initiatives proposing quality models and quality attributes (QM&QA) for embedded systems can already be found. Nevertheless, there is a lack of a complete, detailed panorama about the research that proposes QM&QA dedicated specifically to this domain. In this paper, we apply the systematic review technique to investigate how QM&QA for embedded systems have been defined, evaluated, and used. In addition, we identify which quality attributes are considered as the most important ones in the embedded systems domain. As a result, this work provides a detailed state-of-the-art about the QM&QA for embedded systems and identifies new, important research topics for the future, contributing to improve the quality of these systems.
