About the technology
Quality model
ISO 25010, officially ISO/IEC 25010, defines a quality model for software products and systems. It helps teams assess functional suitability, performance efficiency, compatibility, usability, reliability, security, maintainability and portability. The model turns broad quality goals into clear evaluation criteria.
Where it applies
The standard supports quality planning for applications, embedded products, cloud services and connected systems. Companies use it to compare solutions, set acceptance criteria and identify risks before release. In Germany, it is relevant across regulated industries, industrial software and enterprise technology projects where quality must be documented.
Evaluation practice
Strong specialists translate ISO 25010 characteristics into measurable requirements and practical review methods. Their work can connect quality goals with test design, architecture reviews, monitoring and release gates. Useful deliverables include quality models, evaluation plans, traceability matrices and assessment reports.
- Define quality characteristics and sub-characteristics
- Map requirements to tests and evidence
- Review quality risks across the system lifecycle
- Document findings for technical and business stakeholders
Ecosystem and skills
ISO 25010 work often sits alongside software testing, requirements engineering, systems architecture and quality assurance. Specialists may use test management tools, static analysis, observability platforms, security assessment methods and service-level objectives. Knowledge of ISO/IEC 25010 is especially valuable when teams need one shared language across product, engineering and compliance functions.
When to bring in expertise
Freelance expertise is useful when a team is defining a new product, preparing a procurement decision or investigating recurring quality problems. It can also help during a migration, supplier review or major release when internal teams lack an independent assessment perspective.
- Quality criteria remain vague or difficult to test
- Different teams assess the same system inconsistently
- Non-functional risks appear late in delivery
- A product comparison needs a structured quality basis
What strong experts bring
The best professionals do more than repeat the standard. They tailor its characteristics to the system context, choose evidence that stakeholders can verify and explain trade-offs between quality attributes. They distinguish a documented requirement from demonstrated quality and leave teams with methods they can maintain after the engagement.
Frequently asked questions
Curious about ISO 25010? Here are the answers that come up again and again.
ISO 25010 provides a structured model for evaluating software and system quality. Companies use it to define non-functional requirements, plan assessments, compare products and make quality risks visible throughout delivery.
ISO/IEC 25010 replaced ISO/IEC 9126 as the newer software product quality model. It gives teams a broader and more current structure for product and system quality, while an expert can explain how existing assessments based on ISO/IEC 9126 should be mapped.
A strong ISO 25010 specialist usually combines requirements engineering, software testing and quality assurance with architecture, security or performance knowledge. Experience with observability, test automation and risk management can make the assessment more useful in practice.
The right level depends on the scope and risk of the system, not on the standard alone. For a focused quality review, a specialist who can model requirements and gather evidence may be enough; complex or regulated systems call for broader assessment and domain experience.
Yes. ISO 25010 assessments can usually be performed remotely when teams can provide requirements, architecture information, test evidence and access to relevant stakeholders. On-site workshops may still help when quality goals are disputed or system context is difficult to document.
Bring in an ISO 25010 expert before quality criteria become embedded in contracts, architecture or release decisions. Early involvement helps prevent vague requirements, while an independent review is also valuable before procurement, migration or a critical launch.
Ask for examples of quality models, measurable criteria and assessment evidence rather than a certificate alone. A capable ISO 25010 specialist explains trade-offs clearly, adapts the model to the product and shows how findings influence tests, architecture or release decisions.
No. ISO 25010 defines quality characteristics and gives testing and assurance activities a consistent direction. It does not prescribe one test method, tool or delivery process, so specialists still need to select suitable evidence for each system.
