The standard defines an international standard for supporting keyword driven testing. As this standard is yet to be published, I would like to touch upon the highlights of this new software testing standard. This process model contains a set of indicators to be considered while interpreting the intent of a process reference model.
The process reference model forms the basis for the process assessment model for software testing. A distinctly visible feature of the new software testing standards is that these would require extensive documentation, in contrast to the current agile practice , which stresses minimizing documentation.
Standardization in a way can be beneficial, keeping in view the current globalization trends, onshore and offshore working models, some industry analysts feel that there is a greater need for standardization. He believes there must be a starting point for any evolution. Most of the software testing community is in a dilemma to accept or denounce the new software testing standards, which are going to be recommended by the International Organization for Standardization ISO and there are numerous discussions happening on this topic among software testing professionals.
As far as my opinion goes, I strongly feel that current ISO standards have few glaring gaps and adopting a new set of standards in any area of software development is noteworthy and especially when these new software testing standards will encourage the independent testing practices and help software testers and the software testing community as a whole. This standard is intended to guide the development of systems for commercial, government, military, and space applications.
The information applies to a project within an enterprise that is responsible for developing a product design and establishing the life cycle infrastructure needed to provide for life cycle sustainment. This International Standard also establishes definitions for the various types of maintenance.
This International Standard provides guidance that applies to planning, execution and control, review and evaluation, and closure of the Maintenance Process. The scope of this International Standard includes maintenance for multiple software products with the same maintenance resources. This standard establishes a common framework for describing the life cycle of systems created by humans.
It defines a set of processes and associated terminology. This is accomplished through the involvement of all interested parties with the ultimate goal of achieving customer satisfaction. A process for the management of risk in the life cycle is defined. The interdisciplinary tasks, which are required throughout a system's life cycle to transform customer needs, requirements, and constraints into a system solution, are defined.
In addition, the requirements for the systems engineering process and its application throughout the product life cycle are specified. The focus of this standard is on engineering activities necessary to guide product development while ensuring that the product is properly designed to make it affordable to produce, own, operate, maintain, and eventually to dispose of, without undue risk to health or the environment.
Supersedes Std. 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 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. Software includes the software portion of firmware. This International Standard establishes a common process framework for describing the life cycle of man-made systems. It defines a set of processes and associated terminology for the full life cycle, including conception, development, production, utilization, support and retirement.
This standard also supports the definition, control, assessment, and improvement of these processes. These processes can be applied concurrently, iteratively, and recursively to a system and its elements throughout the life cycle of a system.
This International Standard defines a measurement process applicable to system and software engineering and management disciplines. The process is described through a model that defines the activities of the measurement process that are required to adequately specify what measurement information is required, how the measures and analysis results are to be applied, and how to determine if the analysis results are valid.
The measurement process is flexible, tailorable, and adaptable to the needs of different users. This International Standard identifies a process that supports defining a suitable set of measures that address specific information needs.
It identifies the activities and tasks that are necessary to successfully identify, define, select, apply, and improve measurement within an overall project or organizational measurement structure. It also provides definitions for commonly used measurement terms. The discussion and advice are intended to aid in the preparation of the normative content of project management plans.
It places requirements on and recommends methods for defining and using integrity levels and their integrity level requirements, including the assignment of integrity levels to systems, software products, their elements, and relevant external dependencies. It further provides guidance on life cycle model use by domains, disciplines and specialties. An assurance case includes a top-level claim for a property of a system or product or set of claims , systematic argumentation regarding this claim, and the evidence and explicit assumptions that underlie this argumentation.
Arguing through multiple levels of subordinate claims, this structured argumentation connects the top-level claim to the evidence and assumptions. Assurance cases are generally developed to support claims in areas such as safety, reliability, maintainability, human factors, operability, and security, although these assurance cases are often called by more specific names, e. Likewise, it places no requirements on the means of physical implementation of the data, including no requirements for redundancy or co-location.
An increasing number of international, national and industry standards describe process models. These models are developed for a range of purposes including process implementation and assessment. The terms and descriptions used in such models vary in format, content and level of prescription. This International Standard unifies technical and management requirements and guidance from several of these sources to specify the requirements for the content of a SEMP and to provide a common SEMP format.
It defines the construct of a good requirement, provides attributes and characteristics of requirements, and discusses the iterative and recursive application of requirements processes throughout the life cycle. Additional test documentation may be required for example, code inspection checklists and reports. The standard also does not imply or impose specific methodologies for documentation control, configuration management, or quality assurance. Additional documentation for example, a quality assurance plan may be needed depending on the particular methodologies used.

This International Standard provides guidance for organizations in the application of ISO to the acquisition, supply, development, operation, and maintenance of computer software and related support services.

This document identifies a process that supports defining a suitable set of measures that address specific information needs. It identifies the activities and tasks that are necessary to successfully identify, define, select, apply, and improve measurement within an overall project or organizational measurement structure. It also provides definitions for commonly used measurement terms. This document contains provisions for the processes and products related to the engineering of requirements for systems and software products and services throughout the life cycle.
It defines the construct of a good requirement, provides attributes and characteristics of requirements, and discusses the iterative and recursive application of requirements processes throughout the life cycle. Information items applicable to the engineering of requirements and their content are defined. This document provides a set of critical considerations to be addressed at key points in the life cycle of systems created by humans.
This document refers to a constituent system that will interact in a system of systems as the system of interest SOI.
