IEEE 1074-1997 pdf download IEEE Standard for Developing Software Life Cycle Processes
1.Overview
This clause presents an overview of this standard.
1.1 Scope
This standard provides a process for creating a software life cycle process (SLCP). It is primarily directed atthe process architect for a given software proect, lt is the function of the process architect to create theSLCP
This methodology begins with the selection of an appropriate software life cycle model (SLCM) for use onthe specific project. It continues through the creation of the software life cycle (SLC), using the selectedSLCM and the Activities provided in Annex A. The methodology concludes with the augmentation of theSLC with Organizational Process Assets (OPAs) to create the SLCP
The Activities that are provided in Annex A cover the entire life cycle of a software project, from concepiexploration through the eventual retirement of the software system. This standard does not address non-soft.ware activities, such as contracting, purchasing, or hardware development. lt also does not mandate the uscof a specific SLCM, nor does it provide a selection of, or a tutorial on, SLCMs. This standard presumes thatthe process architect is already familiar with a variety of SLCMs, with the criteria for choosing among themand with the criteria for determining the attributes and constraints of the desired end system and the development environment that affects this selection, Finally, this standard does not prescribe how to perform thesoftware Activities in Annex A
1.2 Purpose
This standard defines the process by which an SLCP is created. It is useful to any organization that is responsible for managing and performing software projects. It can be used where software is the total system orwhere software is part of a larger system.
1.3 Product of standard
The product of this standard is the SLCP that is required for a specific software project. The SLCP is based on the following:
a) An SLCM that is selected for the project
b) The Activities that are provided in Annex A
c) The OPAs that are selected for the project
While this standard describes the creation of a single, overall SLCP that is to be used for a project, the user of this standard should recognize that an SLCP can itself include lower-level SLCPs. This is the same con- cept as in configuration management, in which a particular Configuration Item can include subordinate Con- figuration Items. This standard applies equally to the development of SLCPs at any level.
1.4 Intended audiences This standard is written to provide direction and guidance to those individuals who are responsible for deter- mining the implementation of this standard’s Activities.
1.4.1 Process architect
The primary audience for this standard is the process architect. The process architect is expected to have a) The authority to develop SLCPs
b) A knowledge of the OPAs
c) A knowledge of SLCMs
d) An understanding of the Activities that are presented in Annex A of this standard
1.4.2 Other interested parties
This standard also can be of use to the performers of the Activities that are presented in Annex A.
1.5 Relationship to other key standards
No standard exists isolated from its associated standards. This standard is related to ISO 9001 : 1994 [B38]
