Quantum computing systems depend on the principles of quantum mechanics to perform multiple challenging tasks more efficiently than their classical counterparts. In classical software engineering, the software life cycle is used to document and structure the processes of design, implementation, and maintenance of software applications. It helps stakeholders understand how to build an application. In this paper, we summarize a set of software analytics topics and techniques in the development life cycle that can be leveraged and integrated into quantum software application development. The results of this work can assist researchers and practitioners in better understanding the quantum-specific emerging development activities, challenges, and opportunities in the next generation of quantum software.
