Superseded Standard

IEEE 730-1989

IEEE Standard for Software Quality Assurance Plans

Superseded Uniform minimum acceptable requirements for the preparation and content of Software Quality Assurance Plans (SQAPs) are provided. The standard also provides a standard against which such plans can be compared and assessed. It 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.

Other Activities From This Working Group

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


P730

Standard for Software Quality Assurance Processes

This standard establishes requirements for initiating, planning, controlling, and executing the software quality assurance processes of a software endeavor. This standard is consistent with and elaborates on the software life cycle processes specified in ISO/IEC/IEEE 12207-2017 and the information content requirements of ISO/IEC/IEEE 15289:2019.

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


730-2014

IEEE Standard for Software Quality Assurance Processes

Requirements for initiating, planning, controlling, and executing the Software Quality Assurance processes of a software development or maintenance project are established in this standard. This standard is harmonized with the software life cycle process of ISO/IEC/IEEE 12207:2008 and the information content requirements of ISO/IEC/IEEE 15289:2011.

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.


730-1984

IEEE Standard Software Quality Assurance Plans

The purpose of this standard is to provide uniform, minimum acceptable requirements for preparation and content of Software Quality Assurance Plans (SQAP). In considering adoption of this standard, regulatory bodies should be aware that specific application of this standard may already be covered by one or more IEEE or ANSI standards documents relating to quality assurance, definitions, or other matters. It is not the purpose of IEEE Std 730 to supersede, revise or amend existing standards directed to specific industries or applications. This standard applies to the development and maintenance of critical software; for example, where failure could impact safety or cause large financial or social losses. For non-critical software, or for software already developed, a subset of the requirements of this standard may be applied. The existence of this standard should not be construed to prohibit additional content in a Software Quality Assurance Plan. An assessment should be made for the specific software product item to assure adequacy of coverage. Where this standard is invoked for a project engaged in producing several software items, the applicability of the standard should be specified for each of the software product items encompassed by the project.

730-1998

Standard for Software Quality Assurance Plans

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