Software testing standards are published by ISO/IEC/IEEE. They include the ISO/IEC/IEEE 29119 series, which covers concepts and definitions, test processes, and test documentation.

ISO/IEC/IEEE 29119-1:2022

Software and systems engineering - Software testing - Part 1: General concepts

This document specifies general concepts in software testing and presents key concepts for the ISO/IEC/IEEE 29119 series.

ISO/IEC/IEEE 29119-2:2021

Software and systems engineering - Software testing - Part 2: Test processes

This document specifies test processes that can be used to govern, manage and implement software testing for any organization, project or testing activity. It comprises generic test process descriptions that define the software testing processes. Supporting informative diagrams describing the processes are also provided. This document is applicable to testing in all software development lifecycle models. This document is intended for, but not limited to, testers, test managers, developers and project managers, particularly those responsible for governing, managing and implementing software testing.

ISO/IEC/IEEE 29119-3:2021

Software and systems engineering - Software testing - Part 3: Test documentation

This document specifies software test documentation templates that can be used for any organization, project or testing activity. It describes the test documentation that is an output of the processes specified in ISO/IEC/IEEE 29119-2. This document is applicable to testing in all software development lifecycle models. This document is intended for, but not limited to, testers, test managers, developers, and project managers, particularly those responsible for governing, managing, and implementing software testing.
