KEEP YOUR SOFTWARE SECURE WITH ISO 5055

ISO 5055 is the first ISO standard to measure software qualities such as security and reliability, with measures taken directly from internal, structural aspects of software rather than its operational behavior.

The Cost of Poor Software Quality in the US: A 2022 Report

In this 2022 update report we estimate that the cost of poor software quality in the US has grown to at least $2.41 trillion, but not in similar proportions as seen in 2020. The accumulated software Technical Debt (TD) has grown to ~$1.52 trillion.

CISQ Standards

CISQ collaborates with the world's top software engineering experts to provide an open-source, freely available set of software coding standards, broken into four characteristics: Reliability, Security, Performance Efficiency, and Maintainability. CISQ software standards are free and available for anyone to use.

Software Sizing Standards

This standard is used to estimate the size of a software application or component to support cost estimating, progress tracking, and other software project management activities.

ISO 5055

The new standard measures the internal, structural quality of software based on detecting and counting weaknesses in security, reliability, performance efficiency, and maintainability. These factors are critical to measuring how trustworthy, dependable, and resilient a software system will be.

Technical Debt Standard

The Automated Technical Debt standard estimates the effort to correct all instances of the software weaknesses included in the CISQ code quality standards that remain in a software application's code at release. This estimate can be used to predict future corrective maintenance costs.
