23、) Foreword ISO (the International Organization 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 tech

24、nical committees established by the respective 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 pa

25、rt in the work. In the field of information technology, ISO and IEC have established a joint technical committee, ISO/IEC JTC 1. The procedures used to develop this document and those intended for its further maintenance are described in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 1. In particular the different ap

26、proval criteria needed for the different types of documents should be noted. This document was drafted in accordance with the editorial rules of the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2 (see www .iso .org/ directives). Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the

27、 subject of patent rights. ISO and IEC shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights. Details of any patent rights identified during the development of the document will be in the Introduction and/or on the ISO list of patent declarations received (see www .iso .org/ pa

ISO/IEC 2017 All rights reserved v BS ISO/IEC 20741:2017 ISO/IEC 20741:2017(E) Introduction Within systems and software engineering, software engineering tools represent a major part of the supporting technologies used to develop and maintain information technology systems. Their selectio

31、n is carried out with careful consideration of both the technical and management requirements. The objective of an evaluation process is to provide quantitative and comparable results of all candidate alternatives. The final selection can then be based on these results. To be widely useful and accep

32、ted, the software engineering tool evaluation and selection processes are supposed to help both the users and the suppliers of software engineering tools. The more objective, repeatable, and impartial the evaluation and selection processes are, the more widely acceptable they are. The information an

33、d guidance outlined in this document are intended to lead to more cost-effective selections of software engineering tools and to a greater uniformity in how software engineering tool functions and features are described. For evaluating and selecting software engineering tools, a set of processes pro

34、viding a procedure for evaluation and selection, a list of capabilities providing scope of functional requirements, and a list of characteristics providing scope of non-functional requirements are needed. Evaluation and selection of software engineering tools is usually performed within a specific,

35、purpose- oriented tool area for practical reasons, to manage the scope of evaluation and selection. Examples of such tool areas are requirements engineering tools and configuration management tools. Lists of capabilities are tool area specific, but the list of characteristics and the set of evaluati

36、on and selection processes are more generic for all software engineering tool areas. This document defines a set of processes and a list of characteristics which can be used by all software engineering tool areas. This document can be used together with any tool area-specific standard which defines

37、list of capabilities for the tool area. International standards defining lists of capabilities for specific tool areas have been published, such as ISO/IEC 30130 for “software testing tools”, ISO/IEC TR 24766 for “requirements engineering tools”, and ISO/IEC TR 18018 for “configuration management to

38、ols”. Lists of capabilities for other tool areas of software engineering can be developed as a series of standards according to their priority. It is supposed in this document that tool area is decided before starting the evaluation and selection. It is recommended that the decision would be based o

39、n ISO/IEC 15940 which defines the software engineering service for each tool area. This document adopts the general model of software product quality characteristics and sub- characteristics defined in ISO/IEC 25010 and gives additional guidance how to apply the model when the software product is a

40、software engineering tool. The document follows also the software product evaluation model defined in ISO/IEC 25041.vi ISO/IEC 2017 All rights reserved BS ISO/IEC 20741:2017 ISO/IEC 20741:2017(E) Introduction Within systems and software engineering, software engineering tools represent a major part
