Abstract
A major concern for organizations who are seeking registration to ISO 9000 [11], or seeking the implementation of any quality software related framework [22][24], is the ability to estimate the required effort for meeting the stated requirements. This paper presents a model based on data collected using a survey of software organization that have achieved ISO 9001 registration.
Throughout this paper, whenever the term “ISO 9000” is used, it is intended to mean all three ISO 9000 quality system models, ISO 9001, ISO 9002 and ISO 9003.
