ISO/IEC/IEEE International Standard - Software engineering - Software life cycle processes - Maintenance

This standard describes an iterative process for managing and executing software maintenance activities. Use of this standard is not restricted by size, complexity, criticality, or application of the software product. This standard uses a process model to discuss and depict aspects of software maintenance. The criteria established apply to both the planning of maintenance for software while under development, as well as the planning and execution of software maintenance activities for existing software products. Ideally, maintenance planning should begin during planning for software development. This International Standard provides the framework within which generic and specific software maintenance plans may be executed, evaluated, and tailored to the maintenance scope and magnitude of given software products. This International Standard provides the framework, precise terminology, and processes to allow the consistent application of technology (tools, techniques, and methods) to software maintenance. This International Standard provides requirements and guidance for the maintenance of software. The basis for the Maintenance Process and its activities is consistent with ISO/IEC/IEEE 12207:2017, Systems and software engineering -- Software life cycle processes. This standard defines the activities and tasks of software maintenance, and provides maintenance planning requirements. It does not address the operation of software and the operational functions, e.g., backup, recovery, or system administration, which are normally performed by those who operate the software.

Current projects that have been authorized by the IEEE SA Standards Board to develop a standard.


P15026-1
ISO/IEC/IEEE International Standard for Systems and software engineering--Systems and software assurance --Part 1:Concepts and vocabulary

This document defines assurance-related terms and establishes an organized set of concepts and their relationships, thereby establishing a basis for shared understanding of the concepts and principles central to all parts of ISO/IEC/IEEE 15026 across its user communities. It provides information to users of the subsequent parts of ISO/IEC/IEEE 15026, including the use of each part and the combined use of multiple parts. Coverage of assurance for a service being operated and managed on an ongoing basis is not covered in the ISO/IEC/IEEE 15026 series.

P24748-10
ISO/IEC/IEEE Systems and software engineering-- Life cycle management--Part 10: Guidelines for systems engineering agility

This part of ISO/IEC/IEEE 24748 specifies strategic aspects supporting systems engineering agility, and provides guidelines for their selection and application. Strategic aspects included in this document are: adaptable modular architecture, iterative and incremental development, situational awareness and decision-making, common mission teaming, shared knowledge management, continual integration and test, and agile operations.

P24748-4
ISO/IEC/IEEE Draft International Standard - Systems and Software Engineering -- Life Cycle Management -- Part 4: Systems Engineering Management Planning

ISO/IEC/IEEE 15288, Systems and software engineering -- System life cycle processes, provides a common process framework covering the life cycle of human-made systems, from the conception of ideas through to the retirement of a system. It provides the processes for acquiring and supplying systems. In addition, this framework provides for the assessment and improvement of the life cycle processes. This common framework improves communication and cooperation among the parties that create, utilize, and manage modern systems in order that they can work in an integrated, coherent fashion. The acquisition or supply of a system is usually done within a project. A project prepares and implements the technical planning, resources and schedules necessary to guide the project toward accomplishment of its objectives and proper conclusion. The project's authorization and objectives are documented in an information item identified as a Systems Engineering Management Plan (SEMP). This document defines a SEMP as the key vehicle for representing a project's application of systems life cycle processes. In this document, the terms technical planning and systems engineering planning are used interchangeably to emphasize or differentiate technical contributions in the processes under discussion.

Standards approved by the IEEE SA Standards Board that are within the 10-year lifecycle.


No Active Standards

These standards have been replaced with a revised version of the standard, or by a compilation of the original active standard and all its existing amendments, corrigenda, and errata.


No Superseded Standards

These standards have been removed from active status through a ballot where the standard is made inactive as a consensus decision of a balloting group.


No Inactive-Withdrawn Standards

These standards are removed from active status through an administrative process for standards that have not undergone a revision process within 10 years.
