Regulatory Compliance and its Impact on Software Development
نویسنده
چکیده
Abstract. Since the outset of our research, we have been looking for ways to help software companies develop software systems for which regulatory compliance is a key quality attribute. This is because many regulations, laws, standards, and other authoritative rules have a direct impact on the way software systems, used by regulated organizations, are developed, tested, and maintained. In this paper, we particularly discuss the impact of regulatory compliance on software development practices. We achieve this by discussing how regulations and laws impact three main aspects of software which are: product, process, and project. We argue that there is a need for a new field of study that we refer to as software compliance engineering and which aims to investigate techniques and tools for the development and maintenance of auditable software systems.
