    Qafoo's quality reports are invaluable in providing you with deep insight
    into the quality of a project and thus arming you with the information you
    need to make key improvements.

Assessment of source code quality is a complex task, especially in cases where
long-running internal projects have not passed through an extensive quality
assurance process or where third-party software is to be used. Qafoo's quality
reports are invaluable in providing you with deep insight into the quality of a
project and thus arming you with the information you need to make key
improvements.

---------------------
Quality State Reports
---------------------

A quality state report offers crucial information to help managers decide if a
project should be continued, is worth maintaining or should be extended. For
projects that have not experienced comprehensive quality management over
previous years, this information is hard to find, yet critical for business
decision-making.

Qafoo's quality state reports help managers assess the quality of internally-
and externally-developed software. Qafoo's quality experts will create an
extensive quality report, by analyzing software from scratch and developing
detailed intelligence on the state of the code, documentation, tests,
infrastructure and processes. The eventual quality state report can be used as
the basis for a wide range of decisions, including product refactoring, product
maintenance and product enhancement.

--------------------------
Quality Acceptance Reports
--------------------------

Usage of third-party software components in a project is meant to speed up
development and raise overall reliability. However, in many cases, the opposite
is true: bugs, scalability problems and inflexible APIs are just some of the
reasons that external software components can result in catastrophic project
failure. This is also true for commissioned software; if your organization
sells software developed by a third party, it is even more crucial that the
software conform to certain quality standards.

Qafoo's experts can perform detailed quality acceptance tests to help analyze
the quality of third-party software components or commissioned software.
Similar to a quality state report, a quality acceptance report analyzes the
delivered software with respect to its quality, assessing how safe it is to
accept the software based on individual decision criteria. These criteria
include, but are not limited to:

- Expected stability
- Possibility for future enhancements
- Future-safety of technology
