IEEE Standard for Developing Software Life Cycle Processes

Download or read book IEEE Standard for Developing Software Life Cycle Processes written by Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers and published by Institute of Electrical & Electronics Engineers(IEEE). This book was released on 1992 with total page 118 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The set of activities that constitute the processes that are mandatory for the development and maintenance of software, whether stand-alone or part of a system, is set forth. The management and support processes that continue throughout the entire life cycle, as well as all aspects of the software life cycle from concept exploration through retirement, are covered. Associated input and output information is also provided. Utilization of the processes and their component activities maximizes the benefits to the user when the use of this standard is initiated early in the software life cycle. This standard requires definition of a user's software life cycle and shows its mapping into typical software life cycles; it is not intended to define or imply a software life cycle of its own.
