: This paper presents an initial validation of a software quality model focused on analyzability, aligned with the ISO/IEC 25010 standard. The model targets hybrid systems that integrate classical and quantum components, combining established classical metrics with quantum-specific measures designed to capture the complexity of quantum circuits. In this first empirical study, we evaluate only the quantum dimension of the model through a quasi-experimental setup involving computer engineering students. The results show that the model’s analyz-ability levels correlate with participants’ comprehension performance, supporting its utility in distinguishing circuit complexity. These findings offer promising evidence for further model refinement and lay the ground-work for future evaluations involving real-world hybrid code bases.
