Framework Proposal to Combine Models and Standards in Multi-model Environments to Software Development Organizations

Software development organizations are implementing different quality models and standards to guide the development process. In this context, it is common for these types of organizations to have different models or standards implemented. This article shows a framework proposal for combining models and standards in software development. This framework highlights nine proposal steps to consider when adopting different models or standards. Moreover, this article identified the importance of two steps: the first step is to establish the objective of why the organization wants to combine models or standards, and the second set a mathematical formalization to ensure compliance of process structure in each model or standard, to minimize the risk in the combination processes among them.
