Qualitative Comparative Analysis is a variant of Boolean Analysis that complements quantitative or statistical methods in many scientific disciplines. Therefore, its technicalities resemble those of other variants of Boolean Analysis, such as the one employed by computer engineers for digital design. This paper offers a brief look at Qualitative Comparative Analysis from a Computer-Engineering perspective. Critical observations on some technicalities of Qualitative Comparative Analysis are presented, with an aim to initiate constructive and fruitful intellectual debate that might subsequently lead to desirable enhancements and improvements.
