Quality management division. The standards that make up this division define all the common models, terms and references referenced in the other divisions of SQuaRE.• ISO/IEC 2501n. Division of the quality model. The standard that makes up this division presents a detailed quality model, including characteristics for internal, external and in-use quality.• ISO/IEC 2502n.
