Rather than being mutually exclusive, these views are designed to work together, allowing users to consider multiple perspectives when assessing or improving research software quality. The framework's strength lies in this multi-faceted approach, enabling it to serve the diverse needs of the European research software community while maintaining coherence in its underlying principles. + +![The four views of software quality of the EVERSE reference framework](../figures/figure4-four-views.png){ width=55% } diff --git a/source/figures/figure4-four-views.png b/source/figures/figure4-four-views.png new file mode 100644 index 0000000..f5d3eea Binary files /dev/null and b/source/figures/figure4-four-views.png differ
