Abstract: An apparatus of one embodiment assesses standards compliance during computer development and includes an interface, a memory, and a processor. The interface is operable to receive a selection from a user, the selection including an assessment ruleset to be used for evaluating a computer change. The assessment ruleset includes one or more assessment rules, each assessment rule associated with a condition that determines whether the assessment rule is evaluated. The memory operable to store the assessment ruleset. The processor is operable to determine whether the condition associated with each assessment rule is satisfied, to communicate to the user an evaluation question relating to each assessment rule whose associated condition is satisfied, an answer to the evaluation question indicating an extent to which the computer change complies with the assessment rule, and to determine one or more scores based on the answer to each evaluation question.
