To obtain ISO certification for a software firm, there are several necessary documentation requirements that need to be fulfilled. These typically include:

1. Quality Manual: This document outlines the quality management system of the organization and how it meets the requirements of the ISO standards.

2. Procedures and Work Instructions: Detailed procedures and work instructions need to be documented to demonstrate how various processes are carried out within the organization.

3. Records: Maintaining records of various activities and processes is crucial for demonstrating compliance with ISO standards.

4. Internal Audit Reports: Regular internal audits need to be conducted, and reports of these audits should be documented.

5. Corrective and Preventive Actions: Processes for addressing non-conformities and implementing corrective and preventive actions need to be documented.

In addition to documentation, other requisites for the ISO certification process may include conducting a gap analysis to identify areas where the organization needs to improve to meet ISO standards, training employees on quality management principles, and undergoing a certification audit by an accredited certification body.

Overall, thorough documentation, adherence to processes, and continuous improvement are key aspects of obtaining and maintaining ISO certification for a software firm.
