Abstract

This paper summarizes multifaceted synergies discovered between the ISO/IEC 15408 (Common Criteria) IT Security Evaluation standard, software product quality evaluation standards and the Capability Maturity Model Integration (CMMI). In addition to serving research motivated interest, the usefulness of the synergies is demonstrated through case studies related to significant systems development projects.
