Abstract:
This presentation will examine and
compare approaches taken by several organizations to align assurance-related
practices with the Capability Maturity Model Integration (CMMI) of the Carnegie
Mellon, Software Engineering Institute (SEI). Here, assurance is defined to
include safety, security and reliability. Although the specifics of such efforts
differ, the objectives are the same: 1) to increase the level of confidence that
software is free from vulnerabilities, either intentionally designed into the
software or accidentally inserted at anytime during its lifecycle, and that the
software functions in the intended manner 2)to promote and augment the
understanding and implementation of assurance practices as critical success
factors in building high quality systems for customers, and 3) to facilitate the
eventual fusion of assurance-related practices with the CMMI.
