Methods and systems for evaluating the compliance of software to a quality benchmark
First Claim
1. A method for evaluating the compliance of a software comprising:
- establishing a standard quality process that includes a plurality of stages, each of the plurality of stages corresponding to a software development process;
defining a plurality of objective qualifiers associated with the standard quality process;
assigning a weighting factor to each of the plurality of objective qualifiers;
applying each of the plurality of objective qualifiers to a software application; and
determining a field worthiness score corresponding to the correlation of the software application with each of the objective qualifiers.

Abstract
A method for evaluating the compliance of software to a standard quality process includes establishing a standard quality process that includes a plurality of stages, each of the plurality of stages corresponding to a software development process. A plurality of objective qualifiers associated with the standard quality process are defined, and a weighting factor is assigned to each of the plurality of objective qualifiers. The method also includes applying each of the plurality of objective qualifiers to a software application, and determining a field worthiness score corresponding to the correlation of the software application with each of the objective qualifiers.

16. A computer-readable medium for use on a computer system, the computer-readable medium having computer-executable instruction for performing a method comprising:
-
comparing a software application to a plurality of objective qualifiers associated with a predetermined standard quality process, the standard quality process having a plurality of stages, each of the plurality of stages corresponding to a software development process, wherein each of the plurality of objective qualifiers is weighted according to a weighting criteria; and
determining, based on the comparison. a field worthiness score corresponding to the correlation of the software application with each of the objective qualifiers. - View Dependent Claims (17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30)
