What Qt Quality Means for You
Outcome‑focused benefits that reduce risk, accelerate delivery, and make compliance easier.
Faster Time‑to‑Market
Earlier defect detection and fewer regressions through CI, test automation, and code reviews.
Lower Compliance Risk
Documented processes, certifications, and SBOM-backed releases simplify audits and supplier approvals.
Predictable Maintenance
Long-term support options and clear release cycles mean stable operations with fewer surprises.
Evidence for Auditors
Access to process docs, test metrics, and change history streamlines review and sign‑off.
Security You Can Trust
Coordinated CVE handling, vendor guidelines, and proactive testing bolster your security posture.
Quality That Scales
Dashboards and analytics across teams keep releases measurable and continuously improving.
Our Certifications
Independent audits and certifications validate how we build, ship, and support software.
Security Engineered Into the Lifecycle
Qt bakes security into every change with mandatory code reviews, CI across OS/compilers, and automated static analysis + fuzzing. We publish SBOMs for modern releases and coordinate vulnerability handling—so you can evidence secure development and meet evolving regulations like the EU CRA.
- Mandatory code review and approver/maintainer model
- CI gating (builds, unit tests, license scans)
- Static analysis & fuzz testing (including OSS-Fuzz)
- Coordinated CVE process and early warning for customers
- SBOMs included in current release lines
- Vendor security guidelines for third parties

How Customers Ship With Confidence
“With the ISO 26262 certified Axivion Suite, Schaeffler Automotive Buehl maintains the high quality of its mixed ASIL systems.”
Liebherr-Electronics and Drives GmbH offers mobile machine operators detailed views of their working environment, with strong technical support from Qt and responsive contacts.
“Thanks to the Axivion Suite, we have the maintainability of our software under control, thereby safeguarding our long-term capacity for innovation.”
“What’s really key for us, having to do end-to-end integration testing and not normally having access to all the source code, is a tool like Squish that can talk to an application on Linux and one on Windows…it provides exactly what we need.”
Qt equips Fresenius Kabi with efficient tools for designing medical devices and automating extensive testing to set new industry standards.
