ISO 9000

ISO 9000 describes standards for a formally organized action to accomplish a artefact and the methods of managing and ecology progress. Although the accepted was originally created for the accomplishment sector, ISO 9000 standards accept been activated to software development as well. Like CMMI, acceptance with ISO 9000 does not agreement the superior of the end result, alone that formalized business processes accept been followed.

ISO/IEC 15504

ISO/IEC 15504 Advice technology — Action appraisal aswell accepted as Software Action Advance Capability Determination (SPICE), is a "framework for the appraisal of software processes". This accepted is aimed at ambience out a bright archetypal for action comparison. SPICE is acclimated abundant like CMMI. It models processes to manage, control, adviser and adviser software development. This archetypal is again acclimated to admeasurement what a development alignment or activity aggregation in fact does during software development. This advice is analyzed to analyze weaknesses and drive improvement. It aswell identifies strengths that can be connected or chip into accepted convenance for that alignment or team.
