质量证明，并且什么他们在软件开发意味

大规模软件开发公司相当仍然是年轻人，并且软件产业相当是新的。 软件开发采购在仅两三个十年，并且，当产业变成熟，质量证明承担了一个整体新的意思为供应商并且顾客。 质量证明在软件是轻微地与质量证明不同在制造业。 虽然一定数量的业务流程管理和质量管理原则从普遍的质量证明获得，实施和涵义是引人注目地不同的。

有的质量证明的二个宽广的类型可以由软件开发公司获得。 你是ISO 9001:2000标准，并且其他是SEI CMM的各种各样的水平。 有些组织也许首先达到ISO然后运作往SEI CMM水平证明，而一些也许去直接地SEI CMM证明。 然而ISO证明，比SEI CMM (很多更加便宜)很多容易和因而公司的数量以ISO证明一些，而SEI CMM平实公司数量上不是那么许多。

One of the key benefits of quality certification in a software development company is that it showcases the maturity and continuity of the organization. Both quality certifications pay attention to processes. ISO guidelines state that you should define a process and make sure that it is being followed whereas SEI CMM dictates certain parameters of a process within which the company should work. Achieving certification and maintaining the documented processes provides a long term growth pattern in the company and at the same time helps in building a differentiating factor with customers.

Apart from the maturity and continuity of the organization, software development companies need quality certification to ensure the success of large projects. Tried and tested development methodologies which are part of the certification process ensure that the coding and designing produced by the company are of a high standard and will withstand the test of use and durability. Customers planning to do business with a quality certified company find it much easier to get a good quality software product. Non-certified companies have a tough time when competing with a certified company and that is the reason why more and more software development companies are moving towards quality certification.

Most medium to large companies are moving towards SEI CMM level certification as that quality certification has been developed with software development in mind. There are various levels of the certification and level 5 is the highest a software development company can achieve. The entire certification process for SEI CMM level is lengthy, time consuming and quite expensive when compared with ISO 9001:2000 but the benefits compensate often compensate for that.

So if you are a software company and have not yet gone down the path of certification, it is time you gave it serious thought. If you are an organization looking to outsource software development work to companies in India, China, the Philippines, Poland or parts of Eastern Europe, it is advisable that you consider their quality certifications. Though we have mostly mentioned ISO 9001:2000 quality certifications, there are other industry and technology specific certifications which can also be obtained by software development companies. Usually these certifications are given by software manufacturers or independent bodies and though they might not be as critical as the quality certifications mentioned, they have a good level of importance when evaluating a supplier.
