Abstract: In this paper, we present the implementation of an integrated quality reference frame. This reference frame integrates two quality standards Capability Maturity Model Integration and ISO 9001:2000. As a first process to implement, we choose a software estimation model to evaluate effort, schedule and cost of software development during all the phases of a project. An approach based on COnstructive COst MOdel (COCOMO) II model is used, and we propose an adaptation to a particular context of an organisation. Both human and cultural aspects of the company are considered in order to mitigate the problem of acceptability. Our model is based on the work of Dr. Allan Albrecht on Function Points and Dr. Barry Boehm on COCOMO II model.
