Background:
The quality requirements for medical software have become increasingly demanding. Several quality standards and models are already in place, but there is a debate on whether these are specific enough for medical software. Moreover, mapping requirements to quality criteria can be challenging but is required throughout the software development process.
Objectives:
We propose a workflow in which we apply proven methods and tools for systematic collection, analysis, and evaluation of software quality criteria based on the ISO/IEC 25010:2011.
Methods:
We employ affinity diagrams, Kano analysis and quality function deployment for the systematic requirement development, analysis, and management.
Results:
We outline a systematic approach on how to use the recommended process when developing medical software.
Conclusion:
The paper proposes a systematic approach for requirements management that could be used for mapping medical software quality criteria and stakeholder requirements, independent from the quality criteria (and the underlying model) itself.

Quality control helps track data, visualize trends, and identify variations, making it easier to detect deviations that may affect the accuracy of an analysis. One way to do this is by generating a quality control chart, which...
