3. Modelio Toolsuite: Modeling tool supporting and integrating
all the latest major modeling or methodology standards.
oToolsuite developed by Softeam since January 2009.
The Team Involved in Q-Rapids: 9 Peoples from Modelio
development team
Case study specificity
oSingle long lifetime software product line.
oMultiple product versions managed in parallel process.
oSmall team resulting in a significant need for quality
process automation.

5. Quality Model Building and Formalization
Q-RAPIDS Project Outputs :
Identification and development of specific quality metrics.
Identification of quality threshold.
Aggregation of low level metrics in management oriented high level indicators.
Impact :
• Clear Definition of Company’s Quality
Requirements by building a standardized
Quality Model.

6. Improvement of the software development
process
Q-RAPIDS Project Outputs :
Formalization and documentation of existing Softeam development process.
Integration of Q-Rapids as unified Quality Management solution in our
development process.
Process improvement and introduction of new tools to improve monitoring and
control.
Impact :
• Increasing Productivity Rate by 10% as measured by
the Process Performance Indicator.
• Involvements of all team members in quality
assurance.

7. Monitoring of our development process
performance
Q-RAPIDS Project Outputs :
Collect of row data from various data sources.
Automate metric calculation and provide high level aggregated indicators using
the qr-dashboards.
Monitoring the process performance based on the measured data.
Impact :
• Having indicators integrating many aspects of the
process performance monitored and visualized within
Q-Rapids.
• Increasing information level related to project
advancement using Product Readiness indicator.

8. Facts oriented decision support
Q-RAPIDS Project Outputs :
Facts oriented decision support using Prediction and Simulation services provided
by the qr-dashboards.
Impact :
• Time to market reduction of 5% characterize by the
Blocking Indicator measuring occurrences of events
which can delayed the development process.

9. Automation of Quality Management process
Q-RAPIDS Project Outputs :
Automating the identification of quality issues using an alert mechanism base on
defined quality model.
Standardize quality issue responses by defining a catalogue of mitigation action.
Decision support to select the most suitable mitigation action using simulation
approach.
Integration of this mitigation action as specific tasks in our development process.
Impact :
• Increasing product quality by 10% by
improving critical issue resolution
process and external quality.

10. Improvement of Quality Management
process
Q-RAPIDS Project Outputs :
Monitor Quality management process and mitigation action using specific
metrics.
Development and deployment of a high level indicator to monitor our overall
quality management process.
Impact :
• Improvement of Quality Management processes
by 15% show by the Quality Feedback Loop
indicator which measure wow quality issues are
managed and resolved.
