The Software Engineering Body of Knowledge (SWEBOK) characterizes the major processes, models and methods, professional practices, and foundational areas of software engineering and provides topical access to the standards and literature supporting that discipline. It represents the current state of generally accepted, consensus-based knowledge emanating from the interplay between software engineering theory and practice.

Other Activities From This Working Group
Current projects that have been authorized by the IEEE SA Standards Board to develop a standard.
P24773-1
Software and Systems Engineering – Certification of Software and Systems Engineering Professionals – Part 1: General Requirements
The standard specifies requirements for certification schemes and certification bodies in systems and software engineering.
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No Superseded Standards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No Inactive-Withdrawn Standards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.
No Inactive-Reserved Standards
