Abstract

Currently, the software industry requires high quality products and services, which is achieved through the application of internationally recognized quality models and methods. However, these models in SMEs are very difficult to implement because it require a large investment in money, time and resources. With the aim of facilitating the adoption of practices that ensure quality, we have implemented a framework that integrates a quality model together with the tool that implements it, AQF. AQF allows the evaluation of quality in agile environments, considering as the object of the measurement to the development process independently of the selected agile focus. This article presents the evaluation process that AQF implement regarding the Management of Requirements and Requirements in agile projects. In addition, is presented the validation cycle that was carried out, through the application of the same in a real production environment.
