The '''Consortium for IT Software Quality''' ('''CISQ''') is an IT leadership group that develops international standards for automating the measurement of software from source code to reduce cost and risk.<ref name="cmu.edu">{{cite web|url=http://www.sei.cmu.edu/newsitems/cisq.cfm|title=News Items - Carnegie Mellon SEI and OMG Announce the Launch of CISQ—The Consortium for IT Software Quality|publisher=sei.cmu.edu|date=August 19, 2009|accessdate=August 13, 2016}}</ref> This includes automated measures of [[Software sizing| software size]], [[Software quality| software quality]], and [[Software quality| technical debt]]. The consortium was launched to address the challenge of standardizing the measurement of software quality and to promote a market-based ecosystem to support its deployment. The standards developed by CISQ enable IT and business leaders to measure the risk IT applications pose to the business and estimate the cost of ownership. Members are IT executives from the Global 2000, system integrators, outsourced service providers, and software technology vendors.

To deploy the standards, CISQ hosts outreach events, influences policy, and briefs analysts and the media on software quality. CISQ hosts the Cyber Resilience Summit in Washington, DC to influence the cybersecurity and resilience of mission-critical federal applications. CISQ launched a "Trustworthy Systems Manifesto" containing principles that help executives set corporate policy that prioritizes the development and maintenance of trustworthy software. Its members submit position papers and requests for information regarding policy to several U.S. government agencies such as NIST, DoD, and the SEC.

Overview

[edit]

Jointly organized by the Software Engineering Institute (SEI) at Carnegie Mellon University and the Object Management Group (OMG), CISQ is designed to be a neutral forum in which customers and suppliers of IT application software can develop an industry-wide agenda of actions for defining, measuring, and improving IT software quality.[2][3]

History

[edit]

CISQ was launched in August 2009 by 24 founders including SEI and OMG.[1] The founders of CISQ are Paul D. Nielsen, Director and CEO of SEI and Richard Mark Soley, Chairman and CEO of OMG. Bill Curtis, the co-author of the CMM framework is CISQ's first Director. Software measurement and productivity expert Capers Jones is a CISQ Distinguished Advisor.

In September 2012, CISQ published its standard measures for evaluating and benchmarking the reliability, security, performance efficiency, and maintainability of IT software.[4]

In January 2013, OMG adopted Automated Function Point specifications.[5]

In May 2013 CISQ reached 500 members.[6]
