• Abstract: The analyzability of hybrid software, which integrates both classical and quantum components, is a key factor in ensuring its maintainability and industrial adoption. This article presents the empirical validation, through a family of experiments, of the quantum component of a previously proposed hybrid software analyzability model based on the ISO/IEC 25010 standard. The experimental series consists of four studies involving participants with diverse profiles in both academic and professional settings. In these experiments, the model's ability to effectively measure the analyzability of quantum algorithms is assessed, and the relationship between the analyzability levels computed by the model and the participant's perceptions of the complexity of these algorithms is examined. The results indicate that the proposed model effectively distinguishes between quantum software components with varying levels of analyzability and aligns with human perception, reinforcing its validity in quantum computing.

We devise a multimodal neural network to independently extract knowledge from these modalities, followed by a fusion operation to create a comprehensive data representation.
