14、ization 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 res
15、pective 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. International Standards
16、 are drafted in accordance with the rules given in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 3. In the field of information technology, ISO and IEC have established a joint technical committee, ISO/IEC JTC 1. Draft International Standards adopted by the joint technical committee are circulated to national bodies
17、 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 International Standard may be the subject of patent rights. ISO and IEC shall not be held responsibl

19、l rights reserved Introduction The Ada language community has a strong tradition of “compiler validation,” meaning conformity assessment. Originally, the validation program was administered under the auspices of the United States Department of Defense, as the use of “validated” compilers was a condi
20、tion of usage in defense programs. Three key elements of this validation program were the conduct of testing by independent testing laboratories, resolution of any test issues by a single authority (the “Ada Validation Organization”), and world-wide acceptance of the “validation certificates” result
21、ing from successful conformity testing. In 1998, the U.S. DoD elected to turn the responsibility for conformity assessment over to the private sector. This International Standard provides the basis for private sector conformity assessment. It is the intent of this International Standard to ratify ex
22、isting practices for Ada conformity assessment. In general terms, this International Standard states that independent Ada Conformity Assessment Laboratories (ACAL) would perform the conformity assessment. The various ACALs would collaborate on the formation or designation of a single Ada Conformity
23、Assessment Authority (ACAA). The ACAA would manage and administer an Ada Conformity Assessment Test Suite (ACATS). Each ACAL would perform conformity assessments by applying the ACATS in accordance with an Ada Conformity Assessment Procedure (ACAP). Each ACAL would issue certificates of conformity.T
24、 h eACAA would resolve any test issues that may arise during conformity assessments performed by ACALs and would approve test reports and certificates of conformity before they are issued to the clients of the ACAL. The ACAA would act in the role of the current de facto “Ada Validation Organization”
25、 and its “Fast Reaction Team” and would also participate in the work of ISO/IEC JTC1/SC22/WG9 in order to apprise that group of possible defects discovered in the language standard as a result of conformity assessment. This International Standard does not reuse an existing test method designed for a
26、ny other language as suggested by ISO/IEC Guide 2, 6.7.1 but instead describes a method that, although new to standardization, has a long de facto tradition within the Ada community. This method is based upon a well established method that has already been in uniformly applied usage for 15 years. Co
27、ntinuity with this tradition is considered essential to the success of the Ada language standard. This International Standard has the following goals: This International Standard should permit a smooth transition from the current de facto method of “Ada compiler validation” to the standardized metho
28、d. Users of Ada processor certifications should gain the same degree of assurance as is gained with the current de facto certification mechanism. This International Standard was prepared by Working Group 9 (Ada) of Subcommittee 22 (Programming languages, their environments and system software interf
29、aces) of Joint Technical Committee 1 (Information technology). It establishes requirements for assessing the conformity of Ada language processors to the requirements of the Ada language standard. Portions of this International Standard are based upon U.S. Department of Defense procedures for Ada co
30、mpiler “validation.” The co-operation of the U.S. DoD in contributing the appropriate documents is gratefully acknowledged. ISO, IEC, JTC1 and SC22 have already prepared a number of documents related to conformity assessment. Rather than make normative references to these documents,t h i sInternatio
31、nal Standard incorporates appropriate excerpts of their text, in some cases paraphrasing the text, changing the normative strength, or adapting the provision to the specific circumstances. In each case, the original source of the provision is noted in brackets. Therefore, these documents are listed
32、in the bibliography of this International Standard, rather than in Clause 3, Normative reference.ISO/IEC 18009:1999(E) ISO/IEC 1999 All rights reserved vii In order to relate better to the large body of existing work, particular attention has been paid to terminology. Terms defined in this Internati
33、onal Standard have been presented in bold typeface.INTERNATIONAL STANDARD ISO/IEC 18009:1999(E) ISO/IEC 1999 All rights reserved 1 Information technology Programming languages Ada: Conformity assessment of a language processor 1 Scope 1.1 This International Standard establishes requirements for cert
34、ifying an assessment that an Ada language processor conforms to the requirements of the Ada language standard, ISO/IEC 8652. It places requirements on the organization that performs the assessment, the assessment procedures, and the test suite used in the assessment. Finally, it places requirements
35、on the form for the certificate of conformity. 1.2 This International Standard concerns only the assessment of conformity to the language requirements of ISO/IEC 8652. It does not concern the assessment of any other characteristics of a language processor or of the construction process used by the m
36、anufacturer of the language processor. NOTE In the sense of ISO/IEC Guide 23, the Ada language standard, ISO/IEC 8652, is to be regarded as a standard for a specific property rather than a comprehensive product standard. 1.3 This International Standard is intended to be primarily suitable for use by
37、 a third party authority although portions of it may also be applied by a supplier (first party) or by a user or purchaser (second party). 1.4 An Ada language processor may be claimed to conform to the requirements of ISO/IEC 8652 regardless of the application of this International Standard.T h i sI
38、nternational Standard prescribes the method for obtaining a certification that an Ada language processor conforms to ISO/IEC 8652. Customers desiring to acquire a language processor certified as conforming should explicitly require that certification by citing this International Standard. 1.5 Certif
39、ication should not be construed as guaranteeing that the certified product is free of non-conformities or defects; it only certifies that no evidence of non-conformity was found during the certification process. 2 Conformity 2.1 An Ada language processor is said to be “certified as conforming” if so
40、 assessed by an Ada Conformity Assessment Laboratory (ACAL) and the Ada Conformity Assessment Authority (ACAA). In performing this certification,t h eACAL and the ACAA shall consider the results of testing performed by the ACAL.T h eACAL testing shall be performed in accordance with the Ada Conformi
41、ty Assessment Procedure (ACAP)u s i n gt h e Ada Conformity Assessment Test Suite (ACATS). 2.2 This International Standard places requirements upon the ACAL, ACAA, ACAP and ACATS. NOTES 1 Conformity of an “implementation” of the Ada language standard is defined by subclause 1.1.3 of ISO/IEC 8652. Th
42、e term “language processor” or “compiler” in this International Standard is to be regarded as synonymous with the term “implementation” as used in ISO/IEC 8652. This International Standard prescribes requirements for the assessment that a language processor conforms to the requirements of ISO/IEC 86
43、52. 2A n International Standard on test methods, such as this one, does not imply any obligation to carry out any kind of test. It merely states the method by which the assessment, if required and referred to (for example, in the same or another standard,orinaregulation, or in contract documents), s
44、hould be carried out.
