Abstract

This paper presents an initial validation of a software quality model focused on analyzability, aligned with the ISO/IEC 25010 standard. The model targets hybrid systems that integrate classical and quantum components, combining established classical metrics with quantum-specific measures designed to capture the complexity of quantum circuits. In this first empirical study, we evaluate only the quantum dimension of the model through a quasi-experimental setup involving computer engineering students. The results show that the model’s analyz-ability levels correlate with participants’ comprehension performance, supporting its utility in distinguishing circuit complexity. These findings offer promising evidence for further model refinement and lay the groundwork for future evaluations involving real-world hybrid code bases.
