What is ISO/IEC 26552 – Product line architecture about ?
ISO/IEC 26552 is an international standard on software and systems engineering.
ISO/IEC 26552 defines processes and their subprocesses performed during domain and application architecture design. Those processes are described in terms of purpose, inputs, tasks and outcomes and defines method capabilities to support the defined tasks of each process.
ISO/IEC 26552 defines tool capabilities to automate/semi-automate tasks or defined method capabilities.
ISO/IEC 26552 does not concern processes and capabilities of tools and methods for a single system but rather deals with those for a family of products.
Who is ISO/IEC 26552 – Product line architecture for ?
ISO/IEC 26552 on systems and software Quality Requirements is relevant to:
- Software Engineers
- Organizations that require software and systems support
- Any entity in charge of maintaining the Software Development Life Cycle
- Testers and Designers
Why should you use ISO/IEC 26552 – Product line architecture ?
A product-line architecture (PLA) is a blue-print for creating families of related applications.
The main purpose of ISO/IEC 26552 is to deal with the capabilities of methods and tools of architecture design for software and systems product line (SSPL) and outline the ways tools and methods can support software and systems.
ISO/IEC 26552 will be useful for end users, product line organizations, and tool providers to provide guidance in the evaluation and selection of methods and tools for implementing and developing comprehensive tools and methods for domains and applications.
