| Abstract: | Certification of software artifacts offers organizations more certainty and confidence about software. Certification of software
helps software sales, acquisition, and can be used to certify legislative compliance or to achieve acceptable deliverables
in outsourcing. In this article, we present a software product certification model. This model has evolved from a maturity
model for product quality to a more general model with which the conformance of software product artifacts to certain properties
can be assessed. Such a conformance assessment we call a ‘software product certificate’. The practical application of the
model is demonstrated in concrete software certificates for two software product areas that are on different ends of the software
product spectrum (ranging from a requirements definition to an executable). For each certificate, a concrete case study has
been performed. We evaluate the use of the model for these certificates. It will be shown that the model can be used satisfactorily
for quite different kinds of certificates. |
