IEEE/ISO/IEC P24765

Revision Standard - Active - Draft.


This document provides a common vocabulary applicable to systems and software engineering work falling within the scope of ISO/IEC JTC 1/SC 7 and the IEEE Systems and Software Engineering Standards Committee (S2ESC). The scope of each concept defined has been chosen to provide a definition that is suitable for general application. In those circumstances where a restricted application is concerned, a more specific definition is included. Terms have been excluded if they are considered to be specific to one group or organization; company proprietary or trademarked; compound (multi-word) terms whose meaning could be inferred from the definitions of the component words; or terms whose meaning in the information technology field could be directly inferred from their common English meaning.
