Description / Abstract:
This standard establishes requirements for initiating, planning,
controlling, and executing the Software Quality Assurance (SQA)
processes of a software development or maintenance project. This
standard is harmonized with the software life cycle process of
ISO/IEC/IEEE 12207:20081 and the information content requirements
of ISO/IEC/IEEE 15289:2011.
NOTE—Annex A presents detailed explanations and mappings between
ISO/IEC/IEEE 12207:2008 and IEEE Std 730™-2014
subclauses.2
Purpose
The activities described in this standard are intended to enable
the software project to use the SQA processes to produce and
collect evidence that form the basis for giving a justified
statement of confidence that the software product conforms to its
established requirements. The purpose of this standard is to
provide uniform, minimum acceptable requirements for SQA processes
in support of a software project. In considering adoption of this
standard, regulatory bodies should be aware that specific
application of this standard may already be covered by one or more
IEEE or ANSI (American National Standards Institute) standards
documents relating to quality assurance, definitions, or other
matters. It is not the purpose of this document to supersede,
revise, or amend existing standards directed to specific industries
or applications.
