Starting point of the paper is the thesis that the configuration of a quality gate should be designed according to the system environment, the specific process interface, and the quality management system in order to allow for an optimal quality control. The underlying assumption is that different types of quality gates require different configurations. For that purpose determining factors and design leverages are systematically combined to a holistic model, that was justified by an empirical analysis of n=57 quality gates. In addition, 48 hypotheses were developed and tested empirically. As a result, the paper delivers empirically validated, type specific recommendations für quality testing, quality control, quality reporting, and staff assignment of a quality gate.
