CSA ISO/IEC 12207-09-CAN/CSA Document Information:
Title
Systems and software engineering — Software life cycle processes
CSA Standards
Publication Date:
Oct 1, 2009
Scope:
This International Standard establishes a common framework for
software life cycle processes, with welldefined terminology, that
can be referenced by the software industry. It contains processes,
activities, and tasks that are to be applied during the acquisition
of a software product or service and during the supply,
development, operation, maintenance and disposal of software
products. Software includes the software portion of firmware.
This International Standard applies to the acquisition of
systems and software products and services, to the supply,
development, operation, maintenance, and disposal of software
products and the software portion of a system, whether performed
internally or externally to an organization. Those aspects of
system definition needed to provide the context for software
products and services are included.
This International Standard also provides a process that can be
employed for defining, controlling, and improving software life
cycle processes.
The processes, activities and tasks of this International
Standard—either alone or in conjunction with ISO/IEC 15288—may also
be applied during the acquisition of a system that contains
software.
Purpose
The purpose of this International Standard is to provide a
defined set of processes to facilitate communication among
acquirers, suppliers and other stakeholders in the life cycle of a
software product.
This International Standard is written for acquirers of systems
and software products and services and for suppliers, developers,
operators, maintainers, managers, quality assurance managers, and
users of software products.
This International Standard is intended for use in a two-party
situation and may be equally applied where the two parties are from
the same organization. The situation may range from an informal
agreement up to a legally binding contract. The International
Standard may be used by a single party through a self-imposed set
of processes. This clause does not prevent the use of ISO/IEC 12207
by suppliers or developers of off-theshelf software.
Limitations
This International Standard does not detail the life cycle
processes in terms of methods or procedures required to meet the
requirements and outcomes of a process.
This International Standard does not detail documentation in
terms of name, format, explicit content and recording media. The
International Standard may require development of documents of
similar class or type; various plans are an example. The
International Standard, however, does not imply that such documents
be developed or packaged separately or combined in some fashion.
These decisions are left to the user of the International
Standard.
NOTE ISO/IEC 15289 addresses the content for life cycle process
information items (documentation).
This International Standard does not prescribe a specific system
or software life cycle model, development methodology, method,
model or technique. The parties of the International Standard are
responsible for selecting a life cycle model for the software
project and mapping the processes, activities, and tasks in this
International Standard onto that model. The parties are also
responsible for selecting and applying the software development
methods and for performing the activities and tasks suitable for
the software project.
This International Standard is not intended to be in conflict
with any organization's policies, procedures, and standards or with
any national laws and regulations. Any such conflict should be
resolved before using this International Standard.
