DANSK DSF/ISO/IEC PRF 29110-1-1 PDF

1.1 Field of application This document is applicable to a VSE and introduces the major concepts required to understand and use the ISO/IEC 29110 series. It introduces the characteristics and requirements of a VSE, and clarifies the rationale for VSE-specific profiles, documents, profile specifications and guidelines. The life cycle processes described in the ISO/IEC 29110 series are not intended to preclude nor discourage their use by an entity that is larger than a VSE. 1.2 Target Audience This document is targeted both at the general audience wishing to understand the ISO/IEC 29110 series of documents, and more specifically, at users of the ISO/IEC 29110 series. It should be read first when initially exploring VSE profile documents. While there is no specific prerequisite to read this document, it will be helpful to the user in understanding the other parts. The life cycle processes defined in the ISO/IEC 29110 series can be used by a VSE when developing, acquiring and using, as well as when creating and supplying systems, having hardware and software elements. They can be applied at any level in a systems development, software’s structure and at any stage in the life cycle. The life cycle processes defined in the ISO/IEC 29110 series are not intended to preclude or discourage the use of additional processes that a VSE finds useful.
