Por Raphael Machado.

The Quality Infrastructure of a country comprises an ecosystem of bodies responsible for Metrology, Standardization, and Testing activities with the aim of establishing and promoting standards. The Quality Infrastructure plays a fundamental role for national and international Commerce, for the development of Industries and Sectors, and for the well-being of society, as it promotes confidence in the technical and metrological characteristics of products, processes, services, and technical skills. While "traditional" sectors related to Physical, Chemical, and Biological Metrology have benefited from the Quality Infrastructure, the Information Technology (IT) sector has only recently begun to explore the challenges and potential benefits of using a Quality Infrastructure. In this lecture, we discuss some of these issues and present research projects derived from them, highlighting the following two issues:

• how to establish conformity assessment models for cyber products;
• how to establish metrics to assess the competence of software analysis labs.
