Studying efficacy of traditional software quality parameters in quantum software engineering

Classical computing, which gave us the current digital age, is about to be overriden by a more exciting, powerful, and radically distinct form of computing technology termed as quantum computing. Quantum-based computing may eventually be many times faster than the computing capability that we all use today in our smart phones, laptop computers, and other devices. By leveraging the fundamentals of quantum mechanics, quantum potential is initially focused in this research paper. A baseline has been defined to get through the fundamentals of quantum computing. To get insights, currently available quantum computing platforms or environments are described. Software quality models are investigated to enlist detailed software quality attributes and their relevance for different software application types. We have presented characteristics of quantum computers or quantum processors that may be pertinent to understanding or reasoning about software quality attributes. How these quantum computing characteristics (QCCs) may impact quality of quantum software, is analyzed in the end.
