Talk:ISO/IEC 12207

message: ISO/IEC 12207 – Information Technology – Software Life Cycle Process
Published in 1995, this is an international standard that covers the software life cycle from inception till retirement. It contains a framework that for managing, controlling and improving software life cycle activities. The standard describes the major processes of software life cycle, how the processes interface with each other and a high-level relation that govern their interactions. 
	For each process, the standard also describes the activities and tasks involved, defining specific responsibilities and identifying activities of the tasks. Since it is a high-level standard, it does not detail how to perform the tasks or activities. The 17 processes covered in this standard are grouped in three categories.
1)	Primary Process
a.	Acquisition Process
b.	Supply Process
c.	Development Process
d.	Operation Process
e.	Maintenance Process
2)	Supporting Process
a.	Documentation Process
b.	Configuration Process
c.	Quality Assurance Process
d.	Verification Process
e.	Validation Process
f.	Joint Review Process
g.	Audit Process
h.	Problem Resolution Process
3)	Organization Process
a.	Management Process
b.	Infrastructure Process
c.	Improvement Process
d.	Training Process
Target Audience
1)	Organizations acquiring system that contain software
2)	Organizations that supply software products
3)	Organizations involved in software operations or software maintenance

message: One does not normally think of a disposal phase when it come to software - it's not like it will fill up landfills or have other environmental impact.   Yet software can have lasting value.  Think of it as having the last word in a piece of history.  It is not required, although prudent to capture source code and a description of functional capability of a system artifact.  Take for example, the Apollo moon landings.   Does the software still exist to allow mankind to re-create the conditions that helped land us on the moon?   Despite advances in technology, it remains a hard problem.  New business opportunities can still exist in old code.--96.244.247.130 (talk) 01:39, 11 July 2011 (UTC)

message: This article was in shambles. Upon review and research, it was missing much of the 2008 info and all of the 2017 info. Though the IEEE maintained its own standards (see section of this article about that), they fully became a stakeholder with the 2017 update. They still maintain an identical copy for IEEE members, but that aside, there was nothing really different about the ISO/IEC version. And it became "ISO/IEC/IEEE" in 2017. Also, per notes in this talk, the old IEEE 12207 article was ALSO outdated and probably deserved to be merged into this article years ago. That should be firmly solidified with the 2017 update. I included all the necessary IEEE info in this article and "merged" (though there was little of substance there to merge) it to here, turning it into a redirect. Hopefully this fixes all issues that were previously inherent in both articles. Lostraven (talk) 21:32, 22 June 2018 (UTC)
