1. A method for evaluating the compliance of a software comprising: accepting on the computer system an establishing of a standard quality process that includes a plurality of stages, each of the plurality of stages corresponding to a software development process; accepting on the computer system a defining of a plurality of objective qualifiers associated with the standard quality process, each of the plurality of objective qualifiers having an enumerated plurality of potential values; accepting on the computer system an assigning of a weighting factor to each of the potential values for each of the plurality of objective qualifiers; accepting on the computer system results of applying each of the plurality of objective qualifiers to a software application; and determining a field worthiness score corresponding to the correlation of the software application with each of the objective qualifiers utilizing the computer system; wherein determining the field worthiness score includes: determining, based on the determined responses, a raw score associated with each of the plurality of objective qualifiers, wherein the raw score is calculated as the sum of the values corresponding to responses to each of the plurality of questions; and calculating the field worthiness score as the sum of the raw scores associated with each of the plurality of objective qualifiers, wherein each raw score is adjusted by the weighting factor associated with a corresponding objective qualifier; comparing the field worthiness score to a predetermined threshold; approving, if the field worthiness score exceeds the predetermined threshold, an implementation of the software application; and determining, if the field worthiness score does not exceed a predetermined threshold, that the software application requires further development prior to implementation.
