Abstract

Provides users of AS/NZS ISO/IEC 12207 with further explanation in relation to various types of software and indicates which processes may be relevant in reference to contractual situations, on a project irrespective of size or complexity, in an organization as a self-assessment or for software process improvement initiatives. This Standard is identical with and has been reproduced from ISO/IEC TR 15271:1998.
