Abstract

Presently, the majority of software development including outsourcing is carried out by small- and medium-sized software development organisations all over the world. These organisations are not capable of bearing the cost of implementing available software quality models like CMM, SPICE, ISO, etc. Therefore, there is a need to address this problem. In this paper, we have tried to compare the main characteristics, benefits, and limitations of the models for small and medium software development organisations. We believe that this effort will contribute towards the development of a standardised quality improvement model for small- and medium-sized software development organisations.
