Advancing the arts and technologies of software quality.

The Society for Software Quality (SSQ) is a membership organization for those interested in promoting quality as a universal goal for software. The Society promotes increased knowledge and interest in the technology associated with the development and maintenance of quality software. Our charter is to advance the arts, sciences, and technologies of quality software and to nurture and promote professionalism in those who engage in these pursuits. The SSQ is a federally recognized public benefit corporation chartered under the California Nonprofit Corporation Law in 1984 (Articles of Incorporation, Bylaws). The SSQ is organized and operated exclusively for educational purposes within the meaning of Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code. It is dedicated to improve the quality of software and to provide a means of communication between academia, industry, and software professionals. To achieve these objectives in a continuously changing world, with rapidly evolving techniques of quality management, requires a group of active quality software protagonists. These individuals are the core of the SSQ.
