IEEE Std 730-1998 IEEE Standard for Software Quality Assurance Plans -Description

Abstract: Uniform, minimum acceptable requirements for preparation and content of Software Quality Assurance Plans (SQAPs) are provided. This standard applies to the development and maintenance of critical software. For noncritical software, or for software already developed, a subset of the requirements of this standard may be applied.

Keywords: critical design review, preliminary design review, software configuration management plan, software design description, software quality assurance plan, software requirements review, software requirements specification, software verification and validation plan
