Abstract:
Previous studies in software certification provide a set of axiom and supporting models for software assessment and certification. Two main researches were undertaken to study the issue of certification and developed models of software certification. These models have been developed using requirements-design-implementation strategy to ensure that it meets the needs of a number of different interest groups in the industry. The two models focused on certifying software by development process and product quality approach. The models have been tested by case study, which were launched collaboratively with industries in Malaysia. We extend this works and develop a more comprehensive and integrated model of certification. A significant advantage of the proposed integrated model is that it allows users to choose and design their own implementation or working model of certification which fit with their organisationâ€™s requirements and expectations. This paper focuses on software certification by product quality approach and the architecture of the support tool that needed in the certification process.
