The book begins with an overview of important concepts in software engineering and illustrates the corresponding standards. It describes the scope, roles, and use of software engineering standards, the organizations that make them, and some future development trends. Following this, it introduces two types of diagrams that will guide the reader in designating and selecting standards that meet their specific goals.

Describes the scope, roles, uses, and development trends of the most widely used software engineering standards. The book concentrates on important software engineering activities -- quality and project management, system engineering, dependability, and safety. The analysis and regrouping of the standard collections exposes you to key relationships between standards. James Moore provides valuable insights that allow you to select standards to fill your specific needs with precision.

Software Engineering Standards: A User's Road Map presents two types of diagrams that will guide you in designating and selecting the standards that meet your specific goals. The first is a layered view of standards that illustrates the internal relationships among standards within a collection. The road map, the second type, illustrates the external relationships among standards in same or different collections. By using the road map diagrams each chapter begins at a different starting point and leads you towards the selection of the software engineering standards that achieve your goals.
