What is ISO 25010:2011?

ISO/IEC 25010:2011 provides a comprehensive framework to evaluate software quality through eight core characteristics: functional suitability, performance efficiency, compatibility, usability, reliability, security, maintainability, and portability. It is used by developers, quality assurance teams, project managers, and software vendors to design, test, and maintain software that is robust, scalable, and user-centric.

At Growth Management Corporation, we provide complete consulting, gap analysis, training, implementation support, and audit readiness for organizations seeking compliance with ISO 25010.

Why is ISO 25010:2011 important?

With increasing reliance on software systems across sectors—whether it's fintech, healthtech, manufacturing, or government—software quality cannot be left to chance. ISO/IEC 25010 is essential for:

  1. Ensuring user satisfaction by aligning with functional and usability expectations.
  2. Enhancing system interoperability and performance under different environments.
  3. Reducing maintenance costs and operational risks by embedding quality from the development phase.
  4. Supporting regulatory compliance and IT governance requirements in highly regulated industries.
  5. Creating competitive software products that are secure, scalable, and dependable.


What are the benefits of ISO 25010:2011?

  1. Provides a standardized framework for software quality measurement and validation.
  2. Helps identify quality gaps early in the software lifecycle, minimizing rework and time-to-market.
  3. Facilitates objective assessment of software by using measurable quality indicators.
  4. Promotes cross-team collaboration between developers, testers, and stakeholders based on a common quality model.
  5. Aligns product development with business goals and user requirements more precisely.
