According to the results of a research conducted in 2003, 66 percent of software development projects result in failure, delays in delivery of 70 percent, 54 percent exceeds the projected budget and 30 percent is canceled.
There are many factors that affect software projects. The selected software development methodology, the communication between the people working in the project, the standards and programs used are only the first ones that come to mind. These factors directly or indirectly affect the quality of the developed software project. For a software company, the quality of the software development process is very important for both the quality and success of the software.
Software projects are developed according to the demands of customers. As such, meeting the demands and using modern software techniques can demonstrate that the software is of good quality. In terms of competition, it is important that software companies develop fast and solution-oriented software. However, software projects that have been developed over a long period of time can be considered to be of higher quality in terms of anticipating not only the current demands of the customer, but also the future demands. The fact that the project is in a parametric structure can be a quality indicator in terms of meeting the demands of future changes quickly.
In fact, it is possible to find different answers to the question of what is quality in software? For this reason, since the quality of the software is open to individual evaluations, companies need to define a quality strategy for the developed projects. These strategies should include the definition of quality, requirements and coding standards.
In short, the quality of the software depends on the factors that affect the software, working quality, communication, quality software development process, quality analysis and quality infrastructure.
What is SPICE Software Process Evaluation System?
SPICE (International Standard for Software Process Assessment), which is a joint study of the International Standards Organization and the International Electrotechnical Commission, has emerged after the studies aimed at improving processes in software projects and improving the quality of software. SPICE refers to improving software processes and identifying their capabilities.
The objective of the SPICE standard is to establish common criteria between different software process evaluation models and methods. This standard is applicable to software companies who wish to develop software development, operation and software support competence.
SPICE TS ISO / IEC 15504 Software companies that install and manage the Software Process Assessment System may request a SPICE Certificate from a certification body. This document is also known as Software Quality Certificate.
ISO 15504 standard, SPICE Certificate and Software Quality Certificate TÜRCERT Technical Control and Certification Inc., you can ask managers and employees.
