Master data management (MDM) can provide an integrated and unified view of key business entities to offer better support in business processes. Due to the very nature of master data-based applications, it is possible to use data with the highest possible level of quality. MDM can help ensure that some common concerns, like duplicates or inconsistencies, are prevented by sharing a ‘single version of the truth’ throughout the organisation, and, in some cases, allowing collaborative updates to the master data repository. Therefore, assuring the reliability of master data-based applications, would improve the organisation efficiency. This type of application should implement a set of functional requirements covering the basic operation of MDM principles. We propose a solution based on the evaluation and certification of ‘functional suitability’ of MDM applications. As part of our proposal, we inferred a set of functional requirements from parts 100 to 140 of ISO 8000. This set will be used as a reference in the required matching to compute values for each one of the metrics, properties, subcharacteristics and ultimately, functional suitability following a bottom-up procedure. Finally, the paper also describes the application of the evaluation procedure of an existing master data-based application.

迈向基于主数据的应用程序的软件质量认证

主数据管理 (MDM) 可以提供关键业务实体的集成和统一视图，从而为业务流程提供更好的支持。由于基于主数据的应用程序的性质，可以使用最高质量水平的数据。MDM 可以帮助确保通过在整个组织内共享“单一版本的真相”来防止一些常见问题，例如重复或不一致，并且在某些情况下，允许对主数据存储库进行协作更新。因此，确保基于主数据的应用程序的可靠性，将提高组织效率。这种类型的应用程序应该实现一组涵盖 MDM 原则基本操作的功能需求。我们提出了一种基于 MDM 应用程序“功能适用性”评估和认证的解决方案。作为我们提案的一部分，我们从 ISO 8000 的第 100 部分到第 140 部分推断出一组功能要求。该组将用作所需匹配中的参考，以计算每个指标、属性、子特征的值，并最终，遵循自下而上的程序的功能适用性。最后，本文还描述了现有基于主数据的应用程序的评估程序的应用。遵循自下而上的程序的功能适用性。最后，本文还描述了现有基于主数据的应用程序的评估程序的应用。遵循自下而上的程序的功能适用性。最后，本文还描述了现有基于主数据的应用程序的评估程序的应用。
