Summary
This 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. The standard also provides a process that can be employed for defining, controlling, and improving software life cycle processes.
