Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: B
Answer: ISO 9001 : 2000
Why: ISO 9001:2000 specifies the requirements for a quality management system and is the standard used for certification and assurance of consistent quality. It is the part of the ISO 9000 family that defines the mandatory requirements organizations must meet to demonstrate effective quality management.
Defines requirements for a quality management system (process approach, documentation, continual improvement).
Applies to organizations providing software engineering and other services seeking to ensure consistent quality and customer satisfaction.
The 2000 revision consolidated earlier separate parts into a single requirements standard, making ISO 9001:2000 the applicable reference for quality assurance.
Notes on the other choices: ISO 9000 names the family (overview and vocabulary); ISO 9002 and ISO 9003 were separate parts in older schemes and do not represent the comprehensive requirements standard used for software quality assurance.
