A simplified workflow to improve the software quality is: Find the practices on RSQKit (1), get an overview on tools and services to measure and improve the quality on the TechRadar (2), run an assessment on your own or your groups software via resqui (3) and display the results on DashVERSE (4), assess and repeat from (1).

More information the services can be found at:

1. Research Software Quality Kit - RSQKit
2. Technology Radar - TechRadar
3. Quality Pipelines - resqui which is this project
4. Software Quality Dashboards - DashVERSE
