ABSTRACT

2008, Al-Qutaish, R. E. and Al-Sarayreh, K. T., Software Process and Product ISO Standards: A Comprehensive Survey.


Nowadays, many organizations are dealing with the publication of standards for software engineering, for examples, European Space Agency (ESA), Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineers (IEEE), and International Organization for Standardization (ISO). In this paper, the ISO software engineering standards are classified into software product and software process ISO standards. Actually, from the huge list of the ISO software engineering standards, we chose only ten standards; that is, five software product ISO standards and five software process ISO standards. For some of the selected ISO standards, this paper presents their intended users (developer, tester, acquirer, etc.) and where (in terms of the development life-cycle) they could be used. In addition, the software engineering topics which have no ISO standards are highlighted.
