ISO/IEC JTC 1/SC 7
ISO/IEC JTC 1/SC 7 is a subcommittee of the Joint Technical Committee 1 (JTC 1) of the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) and the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC). This subcommittee is responsible for the development of international standards for software engineering.
History[edit | edit source]
ISO/IEC JTC 1/SC 7 was established in 1987 to address the growing need for standardized practices in software engineering. The subcommittee has since developed numerous standards that are widely used in the industry.
Scope[edit | edit source]
The scope of ISO/IEC JTC 1/SC 7 includes the standardization of processes, tools, and techniques used in software engineering. This encompasses a wide range of activities, including software development, maintenance, and management.
Structure[edit | edit source]
ISO/IEC JTC 1/SC 7 is organized into several working groups, each focusing on specific areas of software engineering. These working groups are responsible for drafting standards and ensuring they meet the needs of the industry.
Working Groups[edit | edit source]
- WG 1: Software Life Cycle Processes
- WG 2: Software and Systems Engineering Standards
- WG 6: Software Product Quality Requirements and Evaluation (SQuaRE)
- WG 7: Software and Systems Engineering Vocabulary
- WG 10: Process Assessment
- WG 20: Software and Systems Engineering Measurement
Key Standards[edit | edit source]
