IEEE 1465-1998

IEEE Std 1465-1998 is an adoption of ISO/IEC 12119: 1994(E). IEEE Std 1465-1998 may be employed to a) Specify quality requirements for software, and provide instructions on how to test against these requirements. b) Manage and improve the organization Os quality processes and personnel. c) Establish management and engineering environments based on the quality requirements and methods in ISO/IEC 12119: 1994(E). d) Foster improved understanding between customers and vendors, and among other parties involved in the software product life cycle. e) Facilitate world trade in software. The intended users of ISO/IEC 12119 are Suppliers of software packages; certification bodies which may wish to establish a third-party certification scheme; testing laboratories which will have to follow the instructions for testing when testing for a certificate or mark of conformity; accreditation bodies for accrediting certification bodies and testing laboratories; auditors of testing laboratories; buyers software packages; users who may profit from better products. New IEEE Standard - Inactive-Withdrawn. Quality requirements for software packages and instructions on how to test a software package against these requirements are established. The requirements apply to software packages as they are offered and delivered, not to the production process (including activities and intermediate products, such as specifications).
