| Summary: | Previous studies by other researchers in this discipline
provide a set of axiom and supporting models for software
assessment and quality but are not extended to a practical
and well accepted model of certification. During the last
five years, two preliminary works was undertaken in this
research group to study issues of certification and these
works are still continuing. Recently, this initial work was
completed and extended. Two software certification models have been developed using requirements-designimplementation
strategy to ensure that it meets the needs of a number of different interest groups in the industry.The two models focused on certifying software by development process and product quality approaches. The models have been tested by case study, which was launched collaboratively with industry in Malaysia.Further analysis has demonstrated feasibility and practicality of the models in a real environment. This paper discusses the implementation of these two models(SCfM_prod & SPAC) and their underlying results. The certification models defined in this research do not only offering a mechanism for assessment and certification, but also providing an alternative mechanism for monitoring of quality and continuous improvement of software quality throughout its life span.
