10、ion for Standardization) and IEC (the International Electrotechnical Commission) form the specialized system for worldwide standardization. National bodies that are members of ISO or IEC participate in the development of International Standards through technical committees established by the respect
11、ive organization to deal with particular fields of technical activity. ISO and IEC technical committees collaborate in fields of mutual interest. Other international organizations, governmental and non-governmental, in liaison with ISO and IEC, also take part in the work. In the field of information
12、 technology, ISO and IEC have established a joint technical committee, ISO/IEC JTC 1. International Standards are drafted in accordance with the rules given in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2. The main task of the joint technical committee is to prepare International Standards. Draft International St
13、andards adopted by the joint technical committee are circulated to national bodies for voting. Publication as an International Standard requires approval by at least 75 % of the national bodies casting a vote. Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be th

15、All rights reserved vIntroduction Over the past several decades, software systems have become critical components of most aspects of life. At the same time, these systems have become increasingly complex. One response to this situation has been the recognition and codification of effective practices
16、 for software development processes and products. This effort has led to the development of systems and software engineering standards by ISO and IEC, by professional societies, and by national standards bodies. It has also led to the definition of an internationally recognized body of knowledge for
17、 software engineering 1. At the same time, there has been a broad-based effort to increase the professionalism of developers of software systems. This effort has included the extension of professional engineering qualifications (e.g. licensed or chartered status) to software engineers and the creati
18、on of certification schemes for software engineering professionals. All certifications assess candidates competencies, either by examination or by review of a candidates competencies, including education, experience, and mastery of specific skills. The increasing globalization of the software indust
19、ry implies that a software engineering professional is likely to work in different countries over the course of a career. It is therefore important to develop ways to increase the portability of professional certifications in this domain. This International Standard will respond to the needs of mult
20、i-national organizations or suppliers for developing software for a foreign customer (including offshoring) that requires software engineering professional certifications. This International Standard will facilitate the portability of software engineering professional certifications between differen
21、t countries. At present, different countries have adopted different approaches on the topic that are implemented by means of regulations and bylaws. The intention of this International Standard is to be open to these national approaches by providing a framework for expressing them in a common scheme
22、 that can lead to understanding between different countries. This International Standard refines and supplements the processes for certification of individuals included in ISO/IEC 17024:2003, Conformity Assessment General requirements for bodies operating certification of persons. The management and
23、 implementation of the Scheme developed under this International Standard can also take into account the processes and definitions of ISO/IEC 17024. A certification body for software engineering professionals seeking accreditation as such will be required to demonstrate conformance to ISO/IEC 17024
24、and to this International Standard. This does not preclude a certification body for software engineering professionals from using this International Standard alone to compare its Scheme with other certification bodies as a basis for a mutual recognition agreement. In some countries, governments and
25、other bodies assess the qualifications of software engineering professionals by evaluating candidates knowledge, skills and job experience and issuing certificates of qualification to those demonstrating competence as defined by an assessing organization. Such an organization is defined as qualifica
26、tion body in this International Standard. A qualification body can use appropriate components of Clauses 4.1 to 4.6, 5 and 6 of this standard for comparison with other such schemes or as a delegated qualification body under Clause 7 of this International Standard. Educational organisations can also
27、use a Scheme developed under this International Standard for comparison purposes. The Guide to the body of knowledge, ISO/IEC TR 19759:2005, Software Engineering Guide to the Software Engineering Body of Knowledge 1 is utilized in this International Standard for comparison of software engineering bo
28、dies of knowledge. Education bodies, qualification or examination bodies and certification bodies are not required to use, or comply with, SWEBOK, but are required to map a software engineering body of knowledge to SWEBOK. This will enable comparisons between the software engineering component (Clau
29、se 5.1.1) of the body of knowledge in the Scheme. ISO/IEC 24773:2008(E) vi ISO/IEC 2008 All rights reservedThis International Standard is not intended to discourage or diminish the role of universities and other educational bodies in developing and offering diverse and innovative software engineerin
30、g programs. Rather, it encourages universities and other educational bodies to participate in the initial and continuing development of software engineering professionals. At the same time, certification bodies are encouraged to consult with and work with universities and other educational bodies in
31、 establishing schemes under this International Standard. FINAL DRAFT INTERNATIONAL STANDARD ISO/IEC 2008 All rights reserved 1 Software engineering Certification of software engineering professionals Comparison framework 1 Scope 1.1 Purpose This International Standard establishes a framework for com
32、parison of schemes for certifying software engineering professionals. A certification scheme is a set of certification requirements for software engineering professionals.
