CMMI (capability maturity model) vs. SQA (software quality assurance) vs. ISO 9001

Hi,

I would like to ask if anyone knows about the CMM (capability maturity model), SQA (software quality assurance) and ISO.

1. how they are related?
2. what are the similarities and differences?
3. how could they be aligned?
4. what could be the risk if we implement SQA and ISO at the same time?


Please help, inputs will really help me a lot.

thank you :truce:

This won't exactly answer your specific questions, but I'm not software quality knowledgable. But - You might want to start out reading a few 'oldies', like https://Elsmar.com/Forums/showthread.php?t=3263 and https://Elsmar.com/Forums/showthread.php?t=3261

There is also some basic information on SPICE https://Elsmar.com/Forums/showthread.php?t=3341

Now it is CMMI (meaning integrated). Review the page https://www.sei.cmu.edu/cmmi/adoption/iso-mapping.html
for relationship between ISO 9001:2000 and CMMI.

Key SQA standard is IEEE 730
https://www.idi.ntnu.no/~stalhane/tdt4235/docs/ieee-730.pdf
(I think this is an old version)
IEEE releases a CD of all latest standard -Check the cost in IEEE site.

For implementing ISO9001 for a Software organization, you should use
ISO 90003:2004
https://www.iso.org/iso/en/CatalogueDetailPage.CatalogueDetail?CSNUMBER=35867&ICS1=35&ICS2=80&ICS3=

Last couple of pages of ISO 90003 provides the alignment details to other ISO/IEC 1227, 15504 and various IEEE software Engineering standards.
