This article highlights both the quantitative research process and its implementation to achieve the objective of identifying the level of quality in software producing mypes. The current project is aimed at students in their role as researchers, considering that one of the strategic objectives of the institutions of higher education is to promote the culture of research, look for differences in findings, obtain superior training and to be more competitive. The quantitative research process gives way to the realization of the primary methods in obtaining the characterization of software producing mypes in Lima. This allows one to identify the quality of their software.

This work is based on the results of the research “Analysis of the use of software quality models: a proposal to improve processes in the ‘mypes’ producing software in Lima”, which was supported by the Institute of Scientific Research of the University of Lima. The study characterized “mypes” and showed that they do not have an adequate use of software quality models, both in their processes and products. In addition, these companies recognized that they have problems in their processes and the need to improve them. It was therefore proposed to develop a further research setting a suitable and sustainable process improvement model for each category of “mype”, based on an in-depth analysis of existing quality models, that could be applied throughout the entire software lifecycle: from the establishment of requirements to the quality tests.

Micro and small businesses (mypes) account for 85% of the software industry. They characterize by the use of quality models for both the process and the product. In a descriptive research conducted with 80 mypes, it was observed that they used more process quality models and less product quality models, and they demonstrated to know the quality factors.

This work seeks to show the situation of an undergraduate career related to information technologies and the low population of women among its students; in contrast to the great job opportunities and social mobility offered by this career, both locally and internationally. Indeed, today’s companies require professionals of careers linked to information technologies, and, moreover, seek diversity among their collaborators. This paper also aims to create a conceptual framework related to a marketing strategy and a methodology for the elaboration of a strategic marketing plan in order to increase the number of women in these careers. And also, to contribute to the gender balance in information technologies careers in Peru.
