Formerly called
ISO/IEC JTC1/SC7 Software engineering

ISO/IEC JTC 1/SC 7 Software and systems engineering is a standardization subcommittee of the Joint Technical Committee ISO/IEC JTC 1 of the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) and the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC), that develops and facilitates standards within the field of engineering of software products and systems. The international secretariat of ISO/IEC JTC 1/SC 7 is the Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS) located in India.[1]

History

ISO/IEC JTC 1/SC 7 was first established in 1987, though the origins of the subcommittee began with ISO/TC 97, established in 1960 as a standardization technical committee in the field of information processing. With the formation of ISO/IEC JTC 1 in 1987, ISO/TC 97 and IEC/TC 83 were combined to form ISO/IEC JTC 1/SC 7, Software Engineering.[2] In 2000, the subcommittee changed its title from Software Engineering to its current title, Software and Systems Engineering.[3] ISO/IEC JTC 1/SC 7 held its first plenary in Paris, France in 1987.[2]

Scope and mission

The scope of ISO/IEC JTC 1/SC 7 is the “Standardization of processes, supporting tools and supporting technologies for the engineering of software products and systems,” including

  • Software and systems engineering processes
  • Software system products
  • Enterprise architecture
  • Software engineering environment
  • Software engineering body of knowledge
  • Management of IT assets

The mission of ISO/IEC JTC 1/SC 7 is to

  • Provide quality standards that cover the entire life-cycle of information systems
  • Provide quality standards that meet user needs in broad markets
  • Manage the set of standards effectively through documented framework
  • Promote the use of standards by providing supporting materials
  • Provide leadership in standardization through:
    • A continuous technology watch process using Study Groups to explore new areas and markets
    • The development of a comprehensive set of integrated standards with broad international and professional consensus
    • Initiating cooperative work with international professional and standards producing organizations
    • A framework that:
      • Facilitates the integration and sub-contracting of standards developed in other standards producing organizations
      • Facilitates cooperative development of joint standards with other international standards producing organizations
      • Minimizes the inconsistencies between ISO/IEC JTC 1/SC 7 standards, including those developed by other standards producing organizations

Structure

As of August 2020, ISO/IEC JTC 1/SC 7 is made up of 14 active working groups (WGs), three ad hoc working groups (AHGs) and five advisory groups (AGs). Each of these groups carries out specific tasks in standards development within the field of systems and software engineering. As a response to standardization needs within the field of software and systems engineering, working groups within ISO/IEC JTC 1/SC 7 were disbanded if their working area was no longer applicable, or established if new working areas arose. The focus of each working group, special working group, advisory group, and task force is described in the group’s terms of reference.

Active working groups of ISO/IEC JTC 1/SC 7 are:[4][5]
