Investigating the Adoption of International Software Quality Standards in Turkiye: A Comprehensive Analysis

Despite significant advancements in software development practices, software projects continue to struggle in meeting their deadlines, budget, and quality goals. One of the primary reasons for this challenge is the lack of awareness and implementation of international software quality standards, which offer best practices and guidelines for software professionals. This study aims to investigate the current state of Turkish software professionals' knowledge and familiarity with these standards. The research involved two stages, including an analysis of the engineering curricula of Turkish universities to determine the extent of coverage of software quality standards, and a survey of Turkish software industry workers to assess their knowledge, familiarity and perception of international software quality standards.
