Software Engineering Guides

Guides for software engineering standards are published by ISO. IEC, and IEEE. They cover application of ISO/IEC 24773, configuring management tool capabilities, requirements for engineering tool capabilities, adoption of CASE tools, and applying ISO 9001 to computer software.

ISO/IEC TR 29154:2013

Software engineering - Guide for the application of ISO/IEC 24773:2008 (Certification of software engineering professionals - Comparison framework)

ISO/IEC TR 29154:2013 is a guide for the application of ISO/IEC 24773:2008. It addresses terminology used in ISO/IEC 24773. It also includes interpretive guidance on several clauses of ISO/IEC 24773, as well as a review of potential typical scenarios for use of ISO/IEC 24773.

ISO/IEC TR 18018:2010

Information technology - Systems and software engineering - Guide for configuration management tool capabilities

Configuration management (CM) is a process central to the software engineering life cycle. CM has been established as an ISO/IEC standard life cycle process in ISO/IEC 12207:2008, Information technology Software life cycle processes and ISO/IEC 15288: 2008, Information technology System life cycle processes . ISO/IEC 12207:2008 and ISO/IEC 15288:2008 describe a comprehensive set of processes, activities and tasks to be performed when acquiring or developing software. However, these documents do not address the capabilities that a CM tool user can expect from a tool in order to support the CM process and other software engineering life cycle activities. There is a gap between CM process descriptions and corresponding CM process automation services which affects both tool users and tool suppliers. ISO/IEC TR 18018:2010 provides guidance in the evaluation and selection for CM tools during acquisition. CM tool evaluation by prospective users can be complex, time consuming, and expensive. ISO/IEC TR 18018:2010 helps to characterize what a CM tool can and cannot do in the CM process. ISO/IEC TR 18018:2010 provides guidance for tool manufacturers in implementing a minimum set of capabilities. The capabilities defined in ISO/IEC TR 18018:2010 are linked to ISO/IEC 12207:2008 and ISO/IEC 15288:2008, and will provide tool manufacturers with guidance on the characteristics their tools should support to meet these International Standards.

ISO/IEC TR 24766:2009

Information technology - Systems and software engineering - Guide for requirements engineering tool capabilities

Requirements engineering (RE) is an essential process of the systems and software engineering life cycles. RE has been established as an ISO/IEC standard life cycle process in both ISO/IEC 15288:2008, Systems and software e ngineering System life cycle process es and ISO/IEC 12207:2008, Systems and software engineering Software l ife cycle process es . This Technical Report provides guidance on desirable capabilities of RE tools. It supplements ISO/IEC 14102:2008, Information t echnology Guideline for the evaluation and selection of CASE tools , which details a set of evaluation criteria for CASE tools without referencing a specific activity or service area.

ISO/IEC TR 14471:2007

Information technology - Software engineering - Guidelines for the adoption of CASE tools

Since CASE (computer aided software engineering) adoption is a subject of the broader technology transition problem, ISO/IEC TR 14471:2007 addresses the adoption practices appropriate for a wide range of computing organizations. ISO/IEC TR 14471:2007 neither dictates nor advocates particular development standards, software processes, design methods, methodologies, techniques, programming languages, or life-cycle paradigms. ISO/IEC TR 14471:2007 will: identify critical success factors (CSF); propose a set of adoption processes; guide successful adoption in consideration of organizational and cultural environment. The following groups are targeted as potential audiences: CASE users; information systems managers; chief information officers (CIO); CASE suppliers; software engineering consultants; those involved in the acquisition of CASE tools and technology. Therefore ISO/IEC TR 14471:2007 addresses aspects of CASE tools adoption. It is best used in conjunction with ISO/IEC 14102 for CASE tool evaluation and selection. It is complementary to related ISO/IEC documents which deal with the general aspects of these topics. The purpose of ISO/IEC TR 14471:2007 is to provide a recommended practice for CASE adoption. It provides guidance in establishing processes and activities that are to be applied for the successful adoption of CASE technology. The use of ISO/IEC TR 14471:2007 will help to maximize the return and minimize the risk of investing in CASE technology. However, ISO/IEC TR 14471:2007 does not establish compliance criteria.

ISO/IEC/IEEE 90003:2018

Software engineering - Guidelines for the application of ISO 9001:2015 to computer software

This International Standard specifies requirements for a quality management system when an organization: a) needs to demonstrate its ability to consistently provide products and services that meet customer and applicable statutory and regulatory requirements, and b) aims to enhance customer satisfaction through the effective application of the system, including processes for improvement of the system and the assurance of conformity to customer and applicable statutory and regulatory requirements. All the requirements of this International Standard are generic and are intended to be applicable to any organization, regardless of its type or size, or the products and services it provides. NOTE 1 In this International Standard, the terms product or service only apply to products and services intended for, or required by, a customer. NOTE 2 Statutory and regulatory requirements can be expressed as legal requirements. This document provides guidance for organizations in the application of ISO 9001:2015 to the acquisition, supply, development, operation and maintenance of computer software and related support services. It does not add to or otherwise change the requirements of ISO 9001:2015. Annex A provides a table pointing to additional guidance on the implementation of ISO 9001:2015, available in ISO/IEC JTC 1/SC 7, ISO/IEC JTC 1/SC 27 and ISO/TC 176 International Standards. The guidelines provided in this document are not intended to be used as assessment criteria in quality management system registration/certification. However, some organizations can consider it useful to implement the guidelines proposed in this document and can be interested in knowing whether the resultant quality management system is compliant or not with this document. In this case, an organization can use both this document and ISO 9001 as assessment criteria for quality management systems in the software domain.
