Abstract

Today we recognize the strong influence of the software in our world and the need for it to have the right quality. However, the software industry has remained in a crisis for many years. Faced with this situation, the quality of process models are presented as an interesting opportunity that can help to change it. This article presents the experiences, challenges and lessons learned in the processes improvement and subsequent certification with the NTP 291 100 (based on MoProSoft) of a small software-development company located in the city of Arequipa in Peru.
