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.[1] This includes automated measures of software size, software quality, and 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.
Overview
CISQ is a not-for-profit organization and a neutral forum in which developers, customers and suppliers of IT application software can develop an industry-wide agenda for defining, measuring, and improving IT software quality.[2][3] Industry needs standard, automated measures for evaluating software size and quality from source code as manual measurement is infeasible for large multi-layer, multi-language, multi-platform systems. The standards are targeted at static code analysis tools and used to manage the security, reliability, and resiliency of software and software-intensive systems developed internally or by service providers.
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.
History
CISQ was launched in August 2009 by the SEI and OMG along with 24 member companies.[1] The founders of CISQ are Dr. Paul Nielsen, Director and CEO of SEI and Dr. Richard Mark Soley, Chairman and CEO of OMG. Dr. Bill Curtis, the co-author of the CMM framework, joined as CISQ's first Executive Director. Software measurement and productivity expert Capers Jones is a CISQ Distinguished Advisor. Current Governing Board members include Dr. Bill Curtis, Dr. Richard Mark Soley, Dr. Paul Nielsen, Joe Jarzombek, Paul Seay, Hariharan Mathrubutham, Phillip Crenshaw, Abhijit Lahiri, Lev Lesokhin, Girish Seshagiri and Dr. Barry Boehm. Current Advisory Board members include Paul Bentz, Don Davidson, Herb Krasner, Siddharth (Sid) Pai, Ravi Mani, Manuel Barbero, and Steve Hall.
