This can be ensured through a validation of relations between quality attributes. In this work we review validation approaches used in literature. We conclude that in an early design phase, surveys and expert interviews are suitable to validate quality attributes and their relations while for complete quality models quantitative validations through measures are advised.engQuality modelEmpirical validationCloud-native004A Review of Approaches for Quality Model Validations in the Context of Cloud-native Applicationsconferenceobjecturn:nbn:de:bvb:473-irb-538015urn:nbn:de:0074-3113-3
