New Edition
Improving the quality of software and its application
TickIT has been developed as a companion document to BS EN ISO 9001, so that software organizations have an up-to-date IT interpretation of this standard. It is essential that software works well together and is relatively easy to customize to your particular applications.
It helps software suppliers, including in-house developers, define and implement a quality system which covers all the essential business processes in the software product life cycle. TickIT guides the developer to achieve this objective within the framework of BS EN ISO 9001.
Who needs to use it?
