TBITS-18 Quality management and quality assurance standards – Guidelines for
selection and use |
This Treasury Board Information Technology Standard (TBITS-22) supports the Treasury
Board policy requirement that quality management practices including system controls which
promote innovative and efficient acquisition, deployment and administration of information
technology resources be adopted.
TBITS-18 focuses on the concept of Quality Management as an approach to promote and
improve ongoing performance. This approach has application to all phases of an
organization's operations and is especially relevant in the overall area of Information
Technology Management.
The process of development and maintenance of software is a major factor in government
operations and it is therefore necessary to provide guidance for quality systems where
software products are involved. This standard supports the application of TBITS-18 to
provide additional guidance for quality systems.
This standard is intended to provide guidance where a contract between a software
supplier and the user require the demonstration of a supplier's capability to develop,
supply and maintain the software. This is done primarily by preventing non-conformity at
all stages from development through maintenance.
The guidelines in this standard are applicable in contractual situations for software
products when
| (a) |
the contract specifically requires design effort and the product
requirements are stated principally in performance terms or they need to be established; |
| (b) |
confidence in product conformity can be attained by adequate
demonstration of certain supplier's capabilities in development, supply and maintenance. |
This standard defines the software quality assurance concepts and is based on
ISO 9000-3 standard. No changes have been made to the international standard.
In certain circumstances, departments and agencies may wish to make exceptions to the
use of this standard. This may be done when it can be clearly demonstrated that there are
appreciable performance or cost advantages to be gained, when the overall interests of the
Government of Canada are best served, or when the department or agency is a party to an
international treaty or obligation (e.g. NATO)
The effective date of this standard is December 1991.
