Abstract
The current trend of software quality assurance has been heavily considered in various software projects due to the increasing complexity of either the system scale or the diversity of technologies. Meanwhile, there exist many international standards and development guides such as DO-178B, EN50128, ISO/IEC 12207, ISO/IEC 15504, etc., that may be referenced during project development in different application domains. In this paper, we investigate the issue of process improvement in a software-intensive organization and establish a quality-enhanced system scheme for emphasizing software verification and validation (V&V) in the aspects of capability levels and its integrity levels. Considering the practical resources at a middle-scale software-intensive organization in Taiwan area, we propose a feasible, efficient and economical roadmap for software process improvement, no matter the companies is ISO 9001:2000 registered or not yet, which then provides a shortcut to enhance V&V tasks for the ISO-9001 registered software organizations.
