Quantum computing technology is revolutionizing the current world and is enabling the creation of advanced applications in various fields, such as healthcare and economics. However, for the industry to carry out mass production of quantum software, it is crucial to ensure an adequate level of quality. However, as quantum technologies move towards practical applications, they face significant challenges. Depending heavily on specific platforms, developers have difficulty creating quantum applications that can run on different quantum providers. Additionally, the lack of mature tools makes the creation of quantum applications a slow and complex process that requires specialized knowledge of quantum mechanics and computer science, where the quality of quantum services can be compromised. This article addresses the need to ensure an adequate level of quality in quantum software, and proposes a process that allows for the improvement of the current generation and deployment of quantum services while evaluating the quality of the created quantum services, using an extension of the OpenAPI Specification and the SonarQube tool.
