730-2002Std for Software Quality Assurance Plans

Last revised in Sept. 2002

Ron Dean has had to resign as WG Chair; Keith Middleton is replacing him

The next version will be a process standard

PAR was approved on June 7, 2007

F2F meeting was held Feb. 18-20

3

828-2005Std for Software Configuration Management Plans

Last reaffirmed in February 2005

Chuck Walrad will be WG Chair

The next version will be a process standard, and will incorporate the material from the 15289 compliance matrix into the text

Modified PAR submitted, will be reviewed by NESCOM in September

4

829-1998

Std for Software and System Test Documentation

The Standards Board approved the revision in March, 2008

Claire Lohr was WG chair

This standard is input to the Software Testing standard that is being jointly developed with SC7

5

1008-1987Std for Software Unit Testing (last reaffirmed Dec. 2002)

MZ: As of Dec. 2007 IEEE Standards Board meeting, 1008 has been extended to 2009

JWM: SC 7 has approved a joint project on software and system testing

and formed a working group to execute the project. IEEE has contributed 829 (and the draft revision of 829) and 1008

to serve as “base documents” BSI has contributed their two standards to serve as base

documents A multi-part ISO/IEC standard is expected Ursula Parker currently represents IEEE as the project editor IEEE PARs are needed – Best to wait for completion of the new

IEEE/ISO agreement before doing this.

6

1012-2004 (1 of 2)[I’ve asked Roger for a status update]Std for Verification and Validation

Roger has an active WG, with 10-12 members

The next version will include systems and hardware V&V; proposed title is “Standard for Systems and Software Verification and Validation”

MZ: The PAR for the next revision was approved in 2006 and expires in 2010

7

1012-2004 (2 of 2)There are some concerns:

They’re trying to address H/W V&V issues explicitly, but Jim’s not sure they have credibility in the Hardware arena

Scott expressed some concern with how 1012 addresses testing

They’re not in sync with the direction SC7 is going Will 1012 be consistent with ISO, 1008, and other

standards efforts? JWM: The new SC7 project on testing wants to

include “static techniques” within their scope. The working group chair is an admirer of 1012.

8

1016-1998Recommended Practice for Software Design Descriptions

First published in Sept. 1998; never revised

Keith Middleton has replaced Vladan Jovanovic as WG chair; Rich Hilliard will continue as project editor

Rich has requested formation of the balloting group, and initiated the Mandatory Editorial Coordination (MEC)

The current PAR has been extended to Dec. 2008

MZ: The invitation has closed and MEC has been returned to Keith/Rich to review. MZ:Next step to start ballot. Note: Standard needs maintenance by year end, and PAR expires as well. DL for Dec. Stds Board is Oct 20, 08

9

1028-1987

Std for Software Reviews

Dennis Lawrence was WG Chair

RevCom approved the revision of IEEE 1028 on June 11, 2008

10

1044-1993Std Classification for Software Anomalies

Last reaffirmed in Sept. 2002

MZ: Revision PAR was submitted in 2005 and PAR expires in 2009

Dave Zubrow has replaced Dave Card as WG chair

He plans to convert this to a process standard; the title may need to be changed

The WG is almost done with the revision. As of March 2008, their intention was to provide a copy to the Management Board for a Readiness Review by July 21, 2008.

We haven’t seen a WG roster since September 2005

11

1062-1998 (slide #1 of 2)Rec. Practice for Software Acquisition

Last reaffirmed in Sept. 2002

MZ: PAR for revision was approved at May 2008 Stds. Board meeting

We intend to revise 1062 for consistency with ISO/IEC 15288, which IEEE has now adopted

12

1062-1998 (slide #2 of 2)Joe Jarzombek has assigned Stan Wisseman, one of his contractors, to chair the P1062 WG. Joe and Stan are developing a direction for the project

Joe reports that Stan Wisseman has joined IEEE and IEEE-SA in order to function as a WG Chair

The ExCom has suggested that Stan Wisseman look at the S/W Acquisition CMMI for ideas

NesCom approved the P1062 PAR on May 19, 2008; the PAR expires on December 31, 2012

Now that the P1062 PAR has been approved, we’re looking for a membership roster

13

1063-2001Std. for Software User Documentation

Last revised in Dec. 2001

SC7 WG2 intends to incorporate 1063 into a new ISO/IEC Process and Product standard, ISO/IEC 26514

IEEE 1063 has been reaffirmed to keep it alive until SC7 completes their revision

MZ: Std has been reaffirmed as of July 2007

JWM: The new ISO/IEC 26514 has been published

Need new PAR for 26514, indicating that it will replace 1063-2001 (A. Reilly)

14

1175.1-5 (1 of 2)Guide for CASE Tool Interconnections – (various subtitles)

Carl Singer is chair of all five WGs

1175.1 was reaffirmed in Sept. 2007

1175.2 was approved in Sept. 2006

1175.3 will be reaffirmed next year

15

1175.1-5 (2 of 2)The WG has completed its revision of 1175.4

The PAR has been extended to December 2008 MZ: Please note that PAR expires Dec., 08. DL for Dec.

Stds. Board Meeting is Oct 20, 08 MZ: The IEEE mandatory editorial review is complete and is

now in the hands of the chair to revise and start ballot. The balloting group for 1175.4 is ready and waiting

1175.5 is presently on hold; the PAR was withdrawn on September 26, 2007

Once 1175.4 has been completed, the WG will resubmit the PAR for 1175.5, together with the PAR for a new standard, 1175.6

16

1228-1994Standard for Software Safety Plans

Last reaffirmed in Dec. 2002

MZ: At the Dec. 2007 Stds. Board meeting, 1228 was extended till Dec. 2009

There is no current activity on this standard

JWM: Some material from 1228 has been adapted for the CD draft of

ISO/IEC 15026. However, generalization from “safety” to “assurance” is necessary; the current draft of the generalized text is naive.

In any case, there is probably a need for continued existence of 1228. However, revision would be appropriate to clarify its relationship to ISO/IEC 15026.

17

1362-1998 (also 1362a-1998)

Guide for Information Technology – Concept of Operations Document

MZ: Reaffirmation of 1362 and 1362a was approved at the Dec. 2007 Stds. Board meeting

We should revise this for consistency with ISO/IEC 15288; we’ll need a WG chair

We’ve sent IEEE 1362 to SC7 JWM: ITSM study didn’t make use of it JWM: Requirements Engineering project may make use of it

Jim reports that, although the ISTM study decided not to use 1362, the Requirements Engineering project may decide to use it

18

1462-1998Adoption of ISO/IEC International Standard 14102:1995 - Information Technology – Guideline for the Evaluation and Selection of CASE Tools

Last reaffirmed in December 2004

JWM: The revision of ISO/IEC 14102 has been submitted for FDIS ballot – the final administrative ballot

Once the revised ISO/IEC 14102 is published, S2ESC will probably initiate a project to adopt it as a replacement for 1462

We’ll need to find someone to lead the adoption

19

1490-2003IEEE Guide – Adoption of PMI Standard – A Guide to the Project Management Body of Knowledge

IEEE 1490 was last reaffirmed in December 2003; MZ: Will need maintenance this year, 2008

MZ: Will need maintenance this year, 2008. Dec. Stds. Board Meeting DL is Oct. 20th, 08 action needs to be taken by then.

The PMBOK is currently being revised

We need to open a PAR to adopt the revised version

Chuck has recruited Paul Diamond to chair the 2008 adoption; Paul is not yet a member of IEEE-CS or IEEE-SA

JWM: ISO TMB (the highest technical body in ISO) has started a project on Project Management. This may have ramifications on SC7 – hence, on us.

20

1517-1999Standard for Information Technology – Software Life Cycle Processes – Reuse Processes

Jim Moore is handling this one

S2ESC has contributed IEEE 1517 to SC7 for use in an upcoming revision of 12207

MZ: The revision of ISO/IEC 12207 was completed in January 2008

Options: (1) revise 1517 as a Guide, to include references to the material that 12207 took from 1517; (2) Repurpose to address current trends in component reuse and software asset management

21

P1644Rec. Practice for Software Nomenclature – Software Naming Conventions for Application Software

Yvette Tanious is WG chair

Yvette has reconstituted her WG, and intends to move forward with this project

PAR has been extended till December 2009

Yvette has submitted a completion plan, and is preparing a membership roster for her new WG

22

P1648Rec. Practice for Establishing and Managing Software Development Efforts Using Agile Methods

Scott Duncan is WG chair, but has lost his employer’s support

We are trying to recruit Pekka Abrahamsson, of Finland, to take over from Scott and bring this effort to ballot Jim thinks that SC7 would also play a part

P1648 PAR has been extended till Dec. 2009

Once the current draft is completed, Scott plans to prepare a PAR extension request, and a PAR revision to change the title

A possible new title is “Recommended Practice for Customer/Supplier Relationships in Agile Software Projects”

23

P1723Standard for Service Oriented Architecture (SOA) Solution Reference Architecture

Liang-Jie “L.J.” Zhang will be WG Chair; his current draft reflects the IBM approach to doing business

PAR expires in December 2011

Ken Costello is the Management Board representative

Ken has made several attempts to talk with L.J. to make sure the standard will be corporate-neutral

Paul will try and set up a telecon with LJ, Ken, and Dave

24

P2063 (ISO/IEC 29148)Std. for Software and System Life Cycle Processes – Requirements Engineering

Paul is WG chair

This will become a process standard, with a template for a Requirements Specification

There was a related SC7 study group, which recommended incorporating IEEE standards 830 and 1233 into a new ISO/IEC standard on Requirements Engineering

We’ll establish an IEEE “shadow” working group, which could do a coordinated development effort; we’ll need to find an IEEE editor who has funding to travel internationally

JWM: SC 7/WG 7 directed the editor, Mark Henley, to prepare a mash up based on 830, 1233 and other materials for consideration (ISO/IEC 29148).

MZ:PAR Expires Dec. 2009.

25

12207-2008

Replaces IEEE 12207.0-1996, Industry Implementation of International Standard ISO/IEC 12207:1995, Standard for Information Technology – Software life cycle processes – Software Life Cycle Processes

The replacement, IEEE Std 12207 (same as ISO/IEC 12207:2008) was published in early 2008.

26

12207.2-1997Industry Implementation of International Standard ISO/IEC 12207:1995, Standard for Information Technology – Software life cycle processes – Implementation considerations

ISO/IEC JTC1 SC7 is revising 12207:1995

S2ESC may eventually need to either revise or withdraw 12207.2 – Paul says we may want to revise this against the updated 12207.0

JWM: Possibilities View 24748 as a rough replacement for 12207.2 (PAR to

adopt 24748 has been approved.) Form a joint project with EIA to revise 12207.2

27

P14471Standard for Information Technology – Software engineering – Guidelines for the adoption of CASE tools

JWM: SC7 revised 14471 in 2007

Jim is looking for someone to manage the IEEE adoption of ISO/IEC 14471

Carl and Jim agree that this is not a high-priority item for S2ESC; we’re letting SC7 drive this project

28

P15026“Systems and Software Engineering – Systems and Software Assurance”

This is the adoption of ISO/IEC 15026; it will replace IEEE 1228

The PAR was approved in June, 2006

SC7 is making good progress on ISO/IEC 15026; PDTR for Part 1 and a CD ballot draft for Part 2 are now available.

IEEE balloting on the original draft closed in Sept. 2007 with 82% affirmative response

Need to submit PARs for each of the current four Parts

MZ: In Comment Resolution stage since Sept 07.

JWM: See notes on P1228

29

P15289S2ESC is in the process of adopting ISO/IEC 15289 to replace 12207.1, “Life cycle data”

According to John Walz, a PAR was approved in April 2007

Annette is chairing the adoption of ISO/IEC 15289:2006; balloting has closed with 75% response

MZ: It is in comment resolution stage as of 8/18/07. There has been no movement on this.

JWM: 15289 needs editorial revision to accommodate the revision of 12207 and 15288.

Annette will move the adoption of 15289:2006 forward immediately. We will pick up the next version of 15289:200x when it is available from SC7.

30

P15939Software and Systems Engineering –Measurement Process

This WOULD BE the IEEE adoption of ISO/IEC 15939:2002

It plays an important role in our S2ESC policies as a reference standard

JWM: ISO/IEC 15939:2007 has been published

S2ESC has initiated a PAR for the IEEE adoption of the ISO/IEC document; the PAR is on the NesCom agenda

MZ: PAR was approved at the Sept. 2007 Stds. Board meeting

MZ: Is in Comment Resolution stage as of 5/25/08, has 20 comments that need resolution.

31

P16326/1058-1998Std for Software Engineering -- Project Management

This is a coordinated merger, with SC7, of IEEE 1058-1998 and ISO/IEC 16326

Mark Henley is ISO/IEC project editor

Mark is resolving comments for the ISO/IEC FCD and preparing the FDIS ballot

IEEE ballot closed October 4, 2007; both of the 75% criteria were met

MZ: In comment resolution stage as of 10/5/07. Sent reminder to Mark 7/7/08, he mentioned being ready to recirc. in a few weeks.

Jim: ISO editor may prepare ballot draft (first through the PSDO process)

32

P20000.1, .2Information Technology – Service Management – Part 1 (Specification) and Part 2 (Code of Practice)

Adoption of ISO/IEC 20000-1:2005 and 20000-2:2005

Terry Doran is chairing these IEEE adoptions; she plans to create mappings to related IEEE standards

S2ESC has a set of reference processes for software and systems engineering that is shared with SC7

Sharing this material permits IEEE and SC7 to write compatible standards

JWM: However, it is not clear that the SC7 working group for ISO/IEC 20000 is willing to use these processes.MZ: PAR Expires Dec. 2010

Bill Powell is in discussion with IEEE-SA on how we might proceed in this area

33

P24748

Replaces IEEE 12207.2-1997, Industry Implementation of International Standard ISO/IEC 12207:1995, Standard for Information Technology – Software life cycle processes – Software Life Cycle Processes – Implementation Considerations

Jim Moore is WG Chair

IEEE will adopt ISO/IEC 24748 as a replacement for IEEE Std 12207.2. The effort will proceed as a joint effort with SC7. PAR is in place

34

P24765 (replaces 610.12-1990)

Std Glossary of Software Engineering Terminology

610.12 was last reaffirmed in Sept. 2002

The plan is to maintain the vocabulary in a shared database

We have negotiated with IEEE SA to permit public access to the database

IEEE-CS has developed a web-based application for importing, editing, and displaying the definitionsNesCom has approved the PAR for the adoption of ISO/IEC 24765; we’ll let 610.12 expireSC7 FCD ballot just completed. FDIS ballot scheduled for November. At that point we will open a PAR for IEEE adoptionIEEE CS is maintaining database. Need to format to match ISO/IEC publication formatNeed to plan for how this will be maintained and kept current

35

P25010

Software Engineering – Product Quality – Part 1: Quality Model

IEEE adoption of ISO/IEC 25010; replaces 9126.1

This standard is a taxonomy of quality factors

SC7 WG6 is continuing to revise this ISO/IEC standard; it’s now in Working Draft status

Jim has written a “help wanted” ad to recruit more participants for this project

36

P25051 (replaces 1465-1998)

Adoption of ISO/IEC International Standard 12119:1994(E) - Information Technology – Software packages – Quality requirements and testing

Last reaffirmed in December 2004

ISO/IEC 12119 was revised as 25051

A WG was formed to determine whether to adopt ISO/IEC 25051 as a replacement for IEEE 1465

The IEEE balloters have agreed to withdraw both 1465 and 25051

Will wait for administrative withdrawal of 1465 and 25051

37

P42010: ISO/IEC adoption of 1471-2000

Standard for Architectural Descriptions

WG Chair is Rich Hilliard

MZ: Par was approved in Sept. 2007 Stds. Board Meeting

JWM: SC 7 adopted IEEE Std 1471 as ISO/IEC 42010 SC 7 and IEEE are cooperating in the revision of

42010

38

P90003Software and Systems Engineering – Guidelines for the Application of ISO 9001:2000 to Computer Software

Scott Duncan lost his employer’s support; Dave Schultz has replaced Scott as IEEE WG chair

This will be the IEEE adoption of ISO 90003; SC7 is already working on the next version of 90003

S2ESC has added an annex to map 90003 to the other S2ESC standards

Dave is preparing a recirculation ballot; the plan is to reject all comments so that we won’t need to have another recirculation
