ISO/IEC 20741:2017 gives guidelines for the evaluation and selection of software engineering tools, covering a partial or full portion of the software engineering life cycle. It establishes processes and activities to be applied for the evaluation of software engineering tools and selecting the most appropriate software engineering tools from several candidates. It establishes, for selected processes, the tasks and activities that can be applied for the evaluation of software engineering tools and selecting the most appropriate software engineering tools from several candidates. It establishes processes that can be applied for the evaluation of software engineering tools and selecting the most appropriate software engineering tools from several candidates. As these processes are generic, organizations can adapt these generic processes to meet organizational needs. The software engineering tool evaluation and selection processes can be viewed in the larger context of the organization's technology adoption process. ISO/IEC 20741:2017 provides the following: a) guidance on identifying organizational requirements for software engineering tools; b) guidance on mapping those requirements to software engineering tool characteristics to be evaluated; c) a process for selecting the most appropriate software engineering tool from several tools, based on measurements of the defined characteristics. NOTE 1 Guidance on mapping those requirements to software engineering tool capabilities to be evaluated is not covered by this document, but is covered by a series of standards for each tool area. Primary users of this document are organizations that intend to adopt software engineering tools to support their software life cycle processes. Software tool suppliers can also use this document to describe characteristics of their software engineering tools. ISO/IEC 20741:2017 is not intended to apply to: a) software engineering frameworks whose purpose is to provide mechanisms for data, control and presentation integration; b) general purpose tools (e.g. word processors, spreadsheets) which can be used in software engineering activities, nor software engineering tools of very narrow scope or specific purpose (e.g. a compiler); c) planning for the implementation of software engineering tools within an organization. NOTE 2 A user of this document can make the best possible selection of a software engineering tool and yet have no guarantee of a successful implementation. The methods described in this document are useful not only for the selection of software engineering tools, but for any project where COTS/FOSS software can be selected instead of engaging in new software development. To follow the guidance provided in this document consists in applying the activities and tasks that are attached to the defined processes to evaluate and select software. Organizations using this document for trade purposes can specify the minimum set of processes and their related activities and tasks, suitable to their given application.

ISO/IEC 26550:2015 is the entry point of the whole suite of International Standards for software and systems product line engineering and management. The scope of this International Standard is to ? provide the terms and definitions specific to software and systems product line engineering and management, ? define a reference model for the overall structure and processes of software and systems product line engineering and management and describe how the components of the product line reference model fit together, and ? define interrelationships between the components of the product line reference model. ISO/IEC 26550:2015 does not describe any methods and tools associated with software and systems product line engineering and management. Descriptions of such methods and tools will appear in the consecutive International Standards (ISO/IEC 26551[1] to ISO/IEC 26556[2]). This International Standard does not deal with terms and definitions addressed by ISO/IEC/IEEE 24765:2010 that provides a common vocabulary applicable to all systems and software engineering work. Whenever this International Standard refers to "products", it means "system-level products" consisting of software systems or both hardware and software systems. It may be useful for the engineering and management of product lines that consist of only hardware systems but it has not been explicitly created to support such hardware product lines. This International Standard is not intended to help the engineering, production, warehousing, logistics, and management of physical items that, possibly combined with software, comprise the products. These processes belong to other disciplines (e.g. mechanics, electronics). NOTE Annex A provides further information on products. ISO/IEC 26550:2015, including the product line reference model and the terms and definitions, has been produced starting from References [6], [7], and [8] which finally resulted in a broad consensus from National Member Bodies at the time of publication. In addition to this background process, structures from ISO/IEC 12207:2008, ISO/IEC/IEEE 15288:2015, ISO/IEC 15940:2006 and ISO/IEC 14102:2008 have been used as a baseline.

ISO/IEC 15940:2013 aims to update ISO/IEC 15940:2006 to take into account the changes of ISO/IEC 12207:2008 and to add/complete the set of Software Engineering Environment services for software and system processes. Software engineering environments services, or SEE services, refers to a collection of services, partially or fully automated by software tools, that are used to support the execution of human activities in systems and software engineering. ISO/IEC 12207:2008 describes a comprehensive set of processes, activities and tasks to be performed when acquiring or developing a system/software. It does not address their implementation or their automation. These activities are usually carried out within a software or system development/maintenance project, and cover such areas as the specification, development, re-engineering or maintenance of systems. ISO/IEC 15940:2013 describes SEE services and relates them to ISO/IEC 12207:2008 in a manner applicable to a range of organizations. In defining a life cycle process for an organization, the user needs to find the appropriate level of automation provided by a software engineering environment. This may result in establishing a new SEE service or improving an existing one. The suite of SEE services described supports the process definitions in ISO/IEC 12207:2008. The purpose is to define a set of SEE services that are compatible with ISO/IEC 12207:2008, and that can be used either as a general reference, or to define an automated software and system process.

Configuration management (CM) is a process central to the software engineering life cycle. CM has been established as an ISO/IEC standard life cycle process in ISO/IEC 12207:2008, Information technology — Software life cycle processes and ISO/IEC 15288: 2008, Information technology — System life cycle processes. ISO/IEC 12207:2008 and ISO/IEC 15288:2008 describe a comprehensive set of processes, activities and tasks to be performed when acquiring or developing software. However, these documents do not address the capabilities that a CM tool user can expect from a tool in order to support the CM process and other software engineering life cycle activities. There is a gap between CM process descriptions and corresponding CM process automation services which affects both tool users and tool suppliers. ISO/IEC TR 18018:2010 provides guidance in the evaluation and selection for CM tools during acquisition. CM tool evaluation by prospective users can be complex, time consuming, and expensive. ISO/IEC TR 18018:2010 helps to characterize what a CM tool can and cannot do in the CM process. ISO/IEC TR 18018:2010 provides guidance for tool manufacturers in implementing a minimum set of capabilities. The capabilities defined in ISO/IEC TR 18018:2010 are linked to ISO/IEC 12207:2008 and ISO/IEC 15288:2008, and will provide tool manufacturers with guidance on the characteristics their tools should support to meet these International Standards.

Within systems and software engineering, Computer-Aided Software Engineering (CASE) tools represent a major part of the supporting technologies used to develop and maintain information technology systems. Their selection must be carried out with careful consideration of both the technical and management requirements. ISO/IEC 14102:2008 defines both a set of processes and a structured set of CASE tool characteristics for use in the technical evaluation and the ultimate selection of a CASE tool. It follows the software product evaluation model defined in ISO/IEC 14598-5:1998. ISO/IEC 14102:2008 adopts the general model of software product quality characteristics and subcharacteristics defined in ISO/IEC 9126-1:2001 and extends these when the software product is a CASE tool; it provides product characteristics unique to CASE tools. This larger set of characteristics is then organized into four groups: characteristics related to life cycle process functionality; characteristics related to CASE tool usage functionality; general quality characteristics; general characteristics not related to quality. This grouping provides a more manageable approach to the overall evaluation and selection process. The technical evaluation can indicate how well a CASE tool meets its user's stated requirements. It can also indicate how well the tool meets its claimed functionality. The objective of the technical evaluation process is to provide quantitative results on which the final selection can be based. Measurement assigns numbers (or other ratings) to attributes of entities; a major activity of evaluation is to obtain these measurements for use in selection. The final selection results should aim to achieve objectivity, repeatability and impartiality. These objectives and the confidence in the outcomes will in part depend on the resources allocated to the overall evaluation and selection process. The user of ISO/IEC 14102:2008 is asked to deal with these issues at an early stage.To be widely acceptable, these CASE tool evaluation and selection processes must be of value to the users of CASE tools, and to the suppliers of CASE to the community at large. The information outlined in ISO/IEC 14102:2008 should lead to more cost effective selections of CASE tools and to a greater uniformity in how CASE tool functions and features are described.

Since CASE (computer aided software engineering) adoption is a subject of the broader technology transition problem, ISO/IEC TR 14471:2007 addresses the adoption practices appropriate for a wide range of computing organizations. ISO/IEC TR 14471:2007 neither dictates nor advocates particular development standards, software processes, design methods, methodologies, techniques, programming languages, or life-cycle paradigms. ISO/IEC TR 14471:2007 will: identify critical success factors (CSF); propose a set of adoption processes; guide successful adoption in consideration of organizational and cultural environment. The following groups are targeted as potential audiences: CASE users; information systems managers; chief information officers (CIO); CASE suppliers; software engineering consultants; those involved in the acquisition of CASE tools and technology. Therefore ISO/IEC TR 14471:2007 addresses aspects of CASE tools adoption. It is best used in conjunction with ISO/IEC 14102 for CASE tool evaluation and selection. It is complementary to related ISO/IEC documents which deal with the general aspects of these topics. The purpose of ISO/IEC TR 14471:2007 is to provide a recommended practice for CASE adoption. It provides guidance in establishing processes and activities that are to be applied for the successful adoption of CASE technology. The use of ISO/IEC TR 14471:2007 will help to maximize the return and minimize the risk of investing in CASE technology. However, ISO/IEC TR 14471:2007 does not establish compliance criteria.

ISO/IEC 26550:2013 provides a reference model consisting of an abstract representation of the key processes of software and systems product line engineering and management, and the relationships between the processes. In the product line there are two development lifecycles (domain engineering and application engineering), the involvement of variabilities, and two process groups (organizational management and technical management). Domain Engineering lifecycle processes define and implement domain assets commonly used by member products within a product line, while Application Engineering lifecycle processes develop applications by exploiting the domain assets including common and variable assets. During domain engineering, product line variability, which reflects the specific needs of different markets and market segments, are explicitly defined. Variabilities are embedded in domain assets and during application engineering they are selected based on the defined variability models. Organizational Management process group helps organizations to establish and improve capabilities for nurturing their product lines from conception to retirement and for establishing and managing relationships with customers, providers, and other key stakeholders. Meanwhile, Technical Management process group provides actual means used to support, monitor, and control the activities of both domain engineering and application engineering of a product line. The reference model for software and systems product line engineering and management of ISO/IEC 26550:2013 can be used in subsequent standardization efforts to create appropriate standards for requirements engineering and management, design, realization, verification and validation, and organizational and technical management processes, tools, and methods of software and systems product line engineering.

ISO/IEC 26555:2013 deals with the capabilities of tools and methods of Software and Systems Product Line (SSPL) Technical Management. Since product lines deal with multiple products that have similarities, product lines have an unprecedented level of technical management complexities. In the product line there are inherent differences in technical considerations due to the parallel development processes, domain and application engineering. The two processes are tightly related with each other centered around assets, and the close relationships among domain engineering, application engineering, and assets require highly matured managerial capabilities. Technical management provides management support for a timely and proper deployment of product line in balance with pre-defined product line objectives such as reusability, reducing cost, and improving quality, as well as its planned cost, schedule, and resources. Technical management addresses actual means used to support, monitor, and control the activities of both domain engineering and application engineering of a product line. There are needs for defining product line specific technical management processes that integrate the involved product line disciplines with those for a single product. Furthermore, support of tools and methods are required so that a product line organization can perform technical management under the systematic control of complexities. ISO/IEC 26555:2013 addresses the product line specific processes in technical management by dividing those into Process Management, Variability Management, Asset Management, and Support Management areas with the guidance of a set of tools and methods capabilities for supporting tasks for product line technical management. ISO/IEC 26555:2013 is intended to benefit people who acquire, supply, develop, operate, and maintain tools and methods for product line technical management. ISO/IEC 26555:2013 can be used in one or more of the following modes: 1) By an organization intended to implement product lines, to understand, adopt, and enact the processes, tools, and methods for product line technical management. This also helps the organization to evaluate and select relevant tools and methods based on business and user-related criteria. 2) By a tool vendor who facilitates or leverages product line engineering practices, to provide a set of tool capabilities that should be embodied in a tool for supporting product line technical management.

ISO/IEC 26551:2012 provides the capabilities of tools and methods that support Software and Systems Product Line (SSPL) requirements engineering. In SSPL requirements engineering, there are three core processes: Product Line scoping, Domain Requirements Engineering, and Application Requirements Engineering. The major purpose of Product Line Scoping estimates the costs and benefits of a product line, and thereby lets an organization make a go/no-go decision.The costs and benefits estimation results play a pivotal role as an indicator for assessing the effectiveness and efficiency of a product line. The major purpose of the Domain Requirements Engineering is to analyze commonality and variability for the product line based on the initial features defined in Product Line Scoping, where the major purpose of the Application Requirements Engineering is to define application requirements based on domain requirements assets by reusing, selecting, or newly adding application specific requirements. For producing multiple products in a product line, the above processes need to be adequately integrated centered around core assets, which is causing the management of domain/application requirements complexities. Thus, the proper supports of methods and tools are essential, and the product line specific capabilities of methods and tools have to be defined. ISO/IEC 26551:2012 can be used in the following modes: - By the users: to benefit people who develop, operate, and manage requirements engineering for software and systems product lines. - By a product line organization: to provide guidance in the evaluation and selection for tools and methods for product line requirements engineering. - By providers of tools and methods: to provide guidance in implementing or developing tools and methods by providing a comprehensive set of the capabilities of tools and methods for product line requirements engineering.

ISO/IEC 15940:2006 can be used either as a general reference, or to define an automated software process.
