Software Engineerng Standards

Software Engineering Standards: A User's Road Map describes the
scope, roles, uses, and development trends of the most widely used
software engineering standards. The book concentrates on important
software engineering activities-quality and project management,
system engineering, dependability, and safety. The analysis and
regrouping of the standard collections exposes you to key
relationships between standards. James Moore provides valuable
insights that allow you to select standards to fill your specific
needs with precision.

The book presents two types of diagrams that will guide you in
designating and selecting the standards that meet your specific
goals. The first is a layered view of standards that illustrates
the internal relationships among standards within a collection. The
road map, the second type, illustrates the external relationships
among standards in same or different collections. By using the road
map diagrams each chapter begins at a different starting point and
leads you toward the selection of the software engineering
standards that achieve your goals.

The book will appeal to software engineering standards users
including senior technical professionals or managers with a
background in software development. Standards-writers or
professionals working on new or revised software engineering
standards will find the book useful as well.
