Understanding Software Quality Metrics for Virtual Reality Products - A Mapping Study

Abstract

Virtual Reality (VR) Software is becoming more mainstream in recent years. It has provided an opportunity for VR practitioners to explore new domains and deliver cutting edge products. The success of the VR products depends primarily on the product contextual relevance and qualities exhibited. However, it is unclear how VR practitioners curb software quality challenges and improve the essence of the VR product over every release. In this paper, we present a Systematic Mapping Study of the software quality metrics adopted by VR practitioners for assessing the quality of their VR products. The study showed that practitioners used unique metrics to measure the quality of their VR products in addition to adopting some of existing enterprise software metrics. Further, we consolidate these metrics into different themes that future practitioners may use for developing VR products.
