The ISO 15504 standard, an infrastructure standard for the evaluation of software processes, is used to:
- To improve the methods that companies have and apply as of today
- Evaluate the company according to specific needs
- Evaluate that the supplier complies with the requirements of a certain contract
The ISO 15504 standard, or the SPICE standard, provides a model to ensure that these assessments are consistent and sufficient and reproducible. This model also defines the criteria that the assessors must meet. Therefore, the need for external auditing of companies applying this standard is eliminated.
