Software audits are distinct from software peer reviews and software management reviews in that they are conducted by personnel external to, and independent of, the software development organization, and are concerned with compliance of products or processes, rather than with their technical content, technical quality, or managerial implications.
"The purpose of a software audit is to provide an independent evaluation of conformance of software products and processes to applicable regulations, standards, guidelines, plans, and procedures".
Software audit can mean:
1. A software licensing audit, where a user of software is audited for licence compliance.
2. software quality assurance, where a piece of software is audited for quality.
3. A software audit review, where a group of people external to a software development organisation examines a software product.
4. A physical configuration audit.
5. A functional configuration audit.
