Q-Rapids
Quality-aware rapid software development
This project has received funding from the European Union’s Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme under grant agreement No 732253.
Q-Rapids consortium consists of seven organisations from five countries.
The Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya (UPC) is one of the leading Spanish technical universities. It is dedicated to higher education and research that specialises in the fields of architecture, science and engineering. Its schools and research centers are points of reference, both nationally and internationally. UPC is involved in dozens of international projects, included EU-funded. The Software and Service Engineering Group (GESSI) is one of the 156 UPC Research Groups. GESSI members conduct research in many fields of software engineering, with particular emphasis on requirements engineering, software quality, software architecture, service-oriented computing, open source software, software modeling and empirical research. In the Q-Rapids project, UPC is responsible of the project coordination and defining and implementing the Q-Rapids Dashboard. Key roles in the project are Project Coordinator Xavier Franch, Work Package 3 Leader Lidia López and assigned researchers Claudia Ayala, Cristina Gómez, Xavier Burgués and Marc Oriol.
