BACKGROUND

Since software engineering cannot based upon physical principles or laws of nature as are most other engineering disciplines, the identification of proven practices and their publication, based upon consensus, as software engineering standards is fundamental to this discipline.

This course provides an introduction to the portfolio of ISO/IEC Software Engineering Standards and describes the relationships between software engineering and systems engineering standards.

LEARNING OBJECTIVES 1. Describe the International Standards Organizations 2. Describe the ISO standardization process 3. Explain the portfolio of ISO SC7 software and systems engineering standards and the relationships between systems engineering and software engineering ISO/IEC standards 4. Explain the ISO 9001 standards and associated guide for IT (ISO/IEC 90003) 5. Present the ISO/IEC 12207, 15289, 15504 standards 6. Present how compliance to an ISO/IEC standard is demonstrated using ISO/IEC 15504 standard 7. Present an overview of ISO/IEC 29110 Standards and Technical Reports
