Different types of reviews were presented in the previous chapter. This chapter is dedicated to the audit, which is one of the most formal types of reviews. We begin by providing definitions that are presented in some standards.
Different types of conformity certificates (e.g., audits) respond to different needs, such as the needs of an organization that develops software products or those of a client of a software product supplier.
