Implementing the IEEE Software Engineering Standards : پنجشنبه : 23 مهر 1388

 Purpose
The Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) Software Engineering
Standards provide a comprehensive set of standards for developing and validating
software.The standards are a fantastic resource, representing countless man-years of
effort.There is an ongoing program to enhance and extend the standards (approximately
five new standards are developed each year). Among the most highly
regarded software engineering standards available today, the IEEE standards are
widely recognized in regulated industries such as the medical device industry.
Proper use of the standards can help organizations improve their software development
and validation process, and help implement an effective software quality system

Unfortunately, individuals or organizations often find it difficult to get started
applying the IEEE standards, for three reasons:
  
     The collection consists of a large number of standards.
    
     Each standard contains detailed and substantial information.
    
     The IEEE introduction and the top-level standard (IEEE/EIA 12207.0) are
       themselves complex and do not provide tutorial information on adopting
       the processes and practices in a graduated fashion.

This book is intended to help overcome these hurdles. Implementing the IEEE Software Engineering Standards will allow individuals to learn
the IEEE software engineering standards much faster and with fewer missteps. For an organization phasing in use of the standards, this book will provide an excellent road map.The intended audience includes n Software engineering managers and engineers
n Software quality assurance managers and engineers n Project managers Implementing the IEEE Software Engineering Standards was written for the reader who has a working knowledge of software development and validation, at least
from an informal environment. Previous experience with the IEEE Software Engineering Standards is not required to understand the material
