BackgroundBackground

The S2ESC traces its roots back to 1976 when the Software Engineering Standards Subcommittee of the Technical Committee on Software Engineering (TCSE) was created. Its first standard, IEEE Std 730™, IEEE Standard for Software Quality Assurance Plans, was published on a trial-use basis three years later. By 1997, the collection had grown to 44 documents.

In addition to the development of standards, the S2ESC sponsors or cooperates in annual U.S. or international conferences and workshops in its subject area. The S2ESC also participates in international standards-making as a member of the U.S. Technical Advisory Group (TAG) to ISO/IEC JTC1/SC7 and as a direct liaison to SC7 itself.

MissionMission

The mission of the S2ESC is: To develop and maintain a family of software and systems

engineering standards that are relevant, coherent, comprehensive, and effective in use. These standards are for use by practitioners, organizations, and educators to improve the effectiveness and efficiency of their software and systems engineering processes, to improve communications between acquirers and suppliers, and to improve the quality of delivered software and systems containing software.

To support and promote a Software Engineering Body of Knowledge, certification mechanisms for software engineering professionals, and other products contributing to the profession of software engineering.

The S2ESC Standards Collection - The S2ESC Standards Collection - PrinciplesPrinciples

Because of its broad scope, and because of its desire to better integrate its collection of standards for software engineering, the S2ESC has adopted a number of plans and policies to guide the evolution of its collection.

Beginning early in the 1990s, the S2ESC initiated a set of long‑range planning activities with the ultimate intention of reorganizing itself and its collection to better achieve its mission. These strategic planning efforts laid the groundwork for a continuing process to better integrate the S2ESC collection so that users may select standards without fear of contradictions among them. Looking forward into the twenty-first century, S2ESC captured and updated the results of those planning efforts in a set of policies and plans for the management of the collection. These plans and policies can be grouped into the following five themes: Strategic relationships with other standards collections Clear relationship between system and software Emphasis on organizationally adopted processes Uniform process framework based on IEEE/EIA 12207.0 and related standards Architectural coherence
