A brief overview toward ISO900 and its subclass ISO900-1 that is associated with software development

1. 1
ISO 9000A review toward ISO 9000 for software production

2. 2
• ISO 900 is a set of standards for quality assurance
systems
• A quality assurance system may be defined as the;
 organizational structure,
 responsibilities,
 procedures,
 processes,
 and resources for implementing quality
management.
• These systems cover a wide variety of activities
encompassing;
 a product’s entire life cycle including planning,
 controlling,
 measuring,
 testing and reporting,
 and improving quality levels throughout the
development and manufacturing process.

After adopting the standards, a country typically permits only ISO registered companies to supply goods and services to
government agencies and public utilities. Telecommunications equipment and medical devices are examples of product
categories that must be supplied by ISO registered companies

Third-party certification bodies provide independent confirmation that organizations meet the requirements of ISO 9001. Over
one million organizations worldwide are independently certified, making ISO 9001 one of the most widely used management
tools in the world today

”
While the goal of the quality assurance systems for manufacturing
organizations and research and development groups are similar–
minimizing variation–the challenges faced when crafting an
appropriate quality assurance system differ due to the nature of
activities conducted in each type of organization. Computer
software development has unique characteristics within research
and development and engineering disciplines, further challenging
the design of ISO-complaint quality assurance systems.

ISO 900-3, Primary Areas of Concern
ISO 9001 was not written with software in mind. And because of the peculiar nature of the product that
we (software developers) build, a few extra words of explanation and interpretation are warranted. Hence, ISO 9000-3.
