The Implementation of ISO/IEC 29110 Software Engineering Standards and Guides in Very Small Entities

摘要

This paper outlines the details of seven case studies involving the pilotusage of the new standard ISO/IEC 29110standard ‘Lifecycle Profiles forVery Small Entities’, which was specifically designed by Working Group 24 ofISO/IEC JTC1/SC7 to address the standardization needs of Very Small Entities(VSEs). The purpose of this paper is to add substantially to the body ofknowledge and the literature on the rollout and implementation of this new andevolving standard and to act as guidance for other researchers in the design andimplementation of ISO/IEC 29110 case studies. Furthermore it is hoped thatthat the lessons learnt from these case studies will help promote the adoption ofthis new standard in an industrial setting.
