Abstract
The importance of software is increasing day by day, and with this growing importance, continuous efforts are being made to develop technologies that lead to the creation of high-quality software. Software metrics are essential tools for project and quality management. In addition to selecting appropriate metrics for monitoring, detecting meaningful behaviors and changes or deviations in the process, analyzing them, and determining whether process shifts are statistically significant are also crucial.
Since statistical quality control is one of the well-established approaches for addressing these issues, this paper aims, for the first time, to identify and categorize all techniques used in the existing literature related to Statistical Process Control (SPC) in software processes. This classification helps researchers recognize practical topics and research directions and supports them in conducting useful and statistically sound studies based on the compiled material.
