This International Standard establishes a common framework for software life cycle processes, with well-defined 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 system that contains software, a stand-alone software product, and software service and during the supply, development, operation, and maintenance of software products. Software includes the software portion of firmware. This International Standard also provides a process that can be employed for defining, controlling, and improving software life cycle processes.

This guide provides implementation consideration guidance for the normative clauses of IEEE/EIA 12207.0. The guidance is based on software industry experience with the life cycle processes presented in IEEE/EIA 12207.0.

This guide provides guidance for recording life cycle data resulting from the life cycle processes of IEEE/EIA 12207.0. NOTE—For informative references, see annex A.

This model is designed to enhance insight into the application of meaningful metrics. The emphasis is on business processes which may best provide indication of the level of risk to the customer when contemplating or continuing business with the supplier base.
