14、word 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 technical
15、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 part in
16、the work. In the field of information 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 Internatio
17、nal Standards. Draft International Standards 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 th
18、e elements of this document may be the subject of patent rights. ISO and IEC shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights. ISO/IEC 15026-2 was prepared by Joint Technical Committee ISO/IEC JTC 1, Information technology, Subcommittee SC 7, Software and systems engineeri
19、ng. ISO/IEC 15026 consists of the following parts, under the general title Systems and software engineering Systems and software assurance: Part 1: Concepts and vocabulary Technical Report Part 2: Assurance case System integrity levels and assurance in the life cycle will form the subjects of future
20、 parts. BS ISO/IEC 15026-2:2011 ISO/IEC 15026-2:2011(E) ISO/IEC 2011 All rights reserved vIntroduction The purpose of this part of ISO/IEC 15026 is to ensure the existence of types of assurance case content and restrictions on assurance case structure, thereby improving consistency and comparability
21、 among instances of assurance cases and facilitating stakeholder communications, engineering decisions, and other uses of assurance cases. Existing standards addressing different application areas and topics related to assurance cases might use differing terminology and concepts when addressing comm
22、on themes. This part of ISO/IEC 15026 is based on experience drawn from these many specialized standards and guidelines. It is applicable to any property of a system or product. NOTE It is intended that ISO/IEC TR 15026-1 will be transformed into an International Standard. In addition to concepts an
23、d terminology, ISO/IEC TR 15026-1 provides background and a list of related standards that could be useful in understanding and using this part of ISO/IEC 15026. Assurance cases are generally developed to support claims in areas such as safety, reliability, maintainability, human factors, operabilit
24、y, and security, although these assurance cases are often called by more specific names, e.g. safety case or reliability and maintainability (R transition, operations, and maintenance documentation; training; operator and user aids; data collection capabilities; and services included in or accompany
25、ing the system or product. Knowledge of these limitations allows avoidance and recognition of violations of relevant assumptions or the conditions related to the top-level claims. NOTE 4 The text often refers to a single assurance case or to a single top-level claim; however, a system or product may
26、 have multiple assurance cases, and an assurance case may have multiple top-level claims. 6 Structure and contents of an assurance case 6.1 General This part of ISO/IEC 15026s description of assurance case structure and contents uses the term “components” for the main parts of an assurance case and
27、describes the relationships among these components. The following general requirements apply: a) The components of an assurance case shall be unambiguous, identifiable, and accessible. BS ISO/IEC 15026-2:2011 ISO/IEC 15026-2:2011(E) ISO/IEC 2011 All rights reserved 3NOTE Ambiguity may be avoided by
28、associating a component with information on its context, such as: definitions of the terms used, the environment of the system or product, and the identities of entities responsible for a components development or maintenance. b) Each component shall be uniquely identified and shall be able to have
29、its origin identified, its history ascertained, and its integrity assured. c) For each component, the components contents, the information related to it, and the other components with which it has relationships shall be identifiable and accessible.“ NOTE For each component, its description and neede
30、d other components, e.g., evidence for claims and related information such as test case results, are identifiable and accessible. d) An assurance case shall contain the auxiliary contents required by ISO/IEC 15289 for this type of documentation. NOTE This part of ISO/IEC 15026 places no restrictions
31、 on how these auxiliary contents are included and no requirement that the assurance case be a separate document. 6.2 Overall structure The five principal components of an assurance case are claims, arguments, evidence, justifications, and assumptions. Figure 1 describes the structure of assurance ca
32、ses. It is not normative. Claims A claim is a proposition to be assured about the system of concern. It may be accompanied with auxiliary information such as the range of some date mentioned in the proposition or the uncertainty of the proposition. Justifications, Arguments, Evidence and Assurance C
33、ases Justifications, arguments, evidence and assurance cases are defined mutually recursively in this figure. Given a claim c, a justification j of c is a reason why c has been chosen. Comment: Therefore, a justification is defined relative to a claim c. An argument (defined below) is also defined r
34、elative to a claim, but it is different from justification because a justification is a reason for the choice of a claim, while an argument is a reason why a claim is true. Given a claim c and a set es of evidence, an argument that assures c using es is defined to be a reason why the truth of c is d
35、educed from the main part of evidence in the set es. Evidence is either a fact, a datum, an object, a claim or an assurance case. A claim is called an assumption if it appears in an assurance case as evidence. The main part of the evidence is defined according to the form of the evidence; if the evi
36、dence is either a fact, datum, object or a claim, its main part is itself; but if the evidence is an assurance case a 0 , its main part is the claim of a 0 . Comment: It will be clarified below in this figure that the evidence of an assurance case is used by an argument of that assurance case to ass
37、ure that its claim holds. Comment: A claim appearing as evidence is called an assumption because such evidence is a proposition without any reason why it is true. When a reason for its truth is provided, it is expected that an assurance case, whose argument is that reason, is constructed and provided as the evidence instead of providing only the claim as evidence.
