Quality in Development Process for Software Factories According to ISO 15504

Currently the concept of Software Factories (SF), where reuse plays a leading role, is being adopted. Due to the different approaches in this area, and although SF concept is not new in Software Engineering, it is still not mature enough to clearly identify the treatment of certain variables within the process. One of these variables is Quality. Therefore, this paper presents a historical review of the SF concept, proposes an ontology based on the most recent definitions and establishes a relationship between these concepts and the ISO 15504 standard, with the purpose of specifying the systemic quality in software developer companies that decide to implement an SF strategy.
