Abstract

Rationale for CISQ—CISQ exists to address a significant challenge: the lack of visibility IT executives have into the quality and risk of their critical business applications.

The IT industry needs standard measures to support the use of quality attributes in benchmarking and controlling software acquisition. Currently software measures are too often manual, expensive, and based on inconsistent or even subjective definitions.
