General software engineering standards are published by ISO. They cover the C programming language, systems and software vocabulary, software engineering body of knowledge (SWEBOK), architecture description, and engineering and management of websites.
This document specifies the form and establishes the interpretation of programs written in the C programming language. It is designed to promote the portability of C programs among a variety of data-processing systems. It is intended for use by implementers and programmers. It specifies: — the representation of C programs; — the syntax and constraints of the C language; — the semantic rules for interpreting C programs; — the representation of input data to be processed by C programs; — the representation of output data produced by C programs; — the restrictions and limits imposed by a conforming implementation of C. This document does not specify: — the mechanism by which C programs are transformed for use by a data-processing system; — the mechanism by which C programs are invoked for use by a data-processing system; — the mechanism by which input data are transformed for use by a C program; — the mechanism by which output data are transformed after being produced by a C program; — the size or complexity of a program and its data that will exceed the capacity of any specific data-processing system or the capacity of a particular processor; — all minimal requirements of a data-processing system that is capable of supporting a conforming implementation. Annex J gives an overview of portability issues that a C program can encounter.
ISO/IEC/IEEE 24765:2017 provides a common vocabulary applicable to all systems and software engineering work. It was prepared to collect and standardize terminology. ISO/IEC/IEEE 24765:2017 is intended to serve as a useful reference for those in the information technology field, and to encourage the use of systems and software engineering standards prepared by ISO and liaison organizations IEEE Computer Society and Project Management Institute. ISO/IEC/IEEE 24765:2017 includes references to the active source standards for definitions so that systems and software engineering concepts and requirements can be further explored.
ISO/IEC TR 19759:2015 characterizes the boundaries of the software engineering discipline and provides topical access to the literature supporting that discipline.
This document specifies requirements for the structure and expression of an architecture description (AD) for various entities, including software, systems, enterprises, systems of systems, families of systems, products (goods or services), product lines, service lines, technologies and business domains. This document distinguishes the architecture of an entity of interest from an AD expressing that architecture. Architectures are not the subject of this document. This document specifies requirements for use of the architectural concepts and their relationships as captured in an AD. It does not specify requirements for any entity of interest or its environment. This document specifies requirements for an architecture description framework (ADF), an architecture description language (ADL), architecture viewpoints and model kinds in order to usefully support the development and use of an AD. This document specifies conformance to the requirements for an AD, ADF, ADL, architecture viewpoint and model kind. This document does not specify the processes, architecting methods, models, notations, techniques or tools by which an AD is created, utilized or managed. This document does not specify any format or media for recording an AD.
This document defines system engineering and management requirements for the life cycle of websites, including strategy, design, engineering, testing and validation, and management and sustainment for intranet and extranet environments. This document applies to those using web technology to present information and communications technology (ICT) information, such as information for users of systems and services, plans and reports for systems and software engineering projects, and documentation of policies, plans, and procedures for IT service management. This document provides requirements for website owners and website providers, managers responsible for establishing guidelines for website development and operations, website engineers, designers, developers, and operations and maintenance staff, who can be external or internal to the website owner's organization. It applies to websites for public access and for limited access, such as for users, customers, and subscribers seeking information on IT systems, products and services. The requirements and recommendations in this document address the following aspects of usability of informational websites and ease of maintenance of managed website operations: a) locating relevant and timely information; b) applying information security management; c) facilitating accessibility and ease of use; d) providing for consistent and efficient development and maintenance practices. This document is not particularly applicable to websites used primarily for marketing or sales, to deliver instructional material (tutorials), or to provide graphical user interfaces (GUI) for business or consumer transactional application processing. However, this document can provide useful insights for managing such sites. This document does not address vendor and product considerations for website engineering and management. This document does not include specifications for application development tools, programming and scripting languages used for websites, metadata tags, or protocols for network communications. It does not address tools or systems used for management or storage of information content (data, documents) that can be presented on websites. This document does not address the design and architecture of software and systems supporting the Internet.
