IEEE 174-1995 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 project. It 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 conceptexploration through the eventual retirement of the software system. This standard does not address non-soft.ware activities, such as contracting, purchasing, or hardware development. t also does not mandate the useof 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 environiment that allects this selection, Finally, this standard does not prescribe how to perlorm 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 respon-sible 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
