What exactly are the basis on which those standards are or should be built? What should be such principles? What lessons can we draw from experience? How can we demonstrate empirically the value of industry practices or concepts related to these fundamental principles? In the 50 year history of software development, various methodologies, methods and techniques have been proposed to facilitate the development of software responsive to needs. At this point in history, enough such examples of methodologies, methods and techniques have accumulated that we can begin to perceive underlying principles that may, in fact, be fundamental, hence enduring in applicability. This workshop has the objective of identifying some of these fundamental principles, and will build upon the results of a first workshop on this topic held during SES '96.

At the same time, commercial software and system suppliers, already familiar with IS0 9001 and IS0 9000-3 are considering the value of the CMM as a tool for process definition and improvement. Software Engineering Process Group (SEPG) teams and Quality System implementers must reconcile at least two models (IS0 9001 and the CMM) - both of which describe business practices and which are often portrayed as either in conflict or as mutually exclusive alternatives.

Although it uses the concepts laid down by ISO/IEC 9126, this approach extends the current usage of this standard by proposing a way to derive software development process requirements, project monitoring requirements and product acceptance requirements. These requirements are traceable to quality objectives expressed in terms of quality characteristics and may include targets for measurements. The interest of the proposed approach is to provide a justification to many process requirements frequently used in acquirer/supplier relationships.

Work is currently being carried out on a suite of standards for software product quality measurement, under the control of Working Group 6 (WG6) within ISO/IEC JTCl/SC7. Central to this work is the evolution of a framework for both internal and external metrics in order to measure the attributes of the six quality characteristics and their corresponding sub-characteristics as defined in ISOAEC 9 126-1. Measurement of software product quality is being addressed for the following characteristics: Functionality, Reliability, Usability, Efficiency, Maintainability and Portability: As a requirement, and a critical part of this work, there is a need to validate the measurements in terms of coverage, usage and validity, as well as the original intent of creating a basic core set. A resolution was accepted at the last WG6 meeting to present the framework and actual measurements to an independent panel of experts in the format of a workshop in order to gather external judgment and expertise.","PeriodicalId":345428,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of IEEE International Symposium on Software Engineering Standards","volume":"29 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1997-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125357474","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The first Working Draft (WD) was circulated to members of Working Group 11 for discussion at the Ottawa interim meeting in October 1996. The result of this meeting was that a revised WD is currently being circulated to SC7 for comment.
