 | I'm involved with a small group that has to demonstrate compliance to
12207.
Does anyone have any pointers to how this is done - in the UK. I read
through the std some time ago and can remember what its about, but
treated it as informantive. Conformance is discussed in section 1.4 but
I no longer have access to a copy.
Who determines whether software development work comforms, and how? Is
it easy to scale for what is in effect a small team? And does
demonstrating conformance cost much?
Any pointers gratefully received.
Thanks in anticipation
Clifford Shelley

Simple - to get a development contract. The client wants it.

No - just the (small) software group

At this stage all we've seen is a couple of sentences in a photcopy of
a fax stating that the contract requires that development process will
be compliant to 12207. Nothing about degrees of compliance or how
client will satisfy themselves about this - hence my enquiry. Looks
like the client needs to be asked what they expect.

I am not sure what is your objective, to for the company to became
Compliant it will need to spend years of methodic work on development
process.

Get the copy of standard. IEEE selling 4 Volume collection of S/W
engineering standards. There, on 12207.2 annex B there is an
explanations on Levels of Compliance and what they mean.

Well it depends do you want to demonstrate compliance for your project ?
Entire organization ?
Please prove me wrong but I think that "Compliance" usually a part of
developer / consumer agreement and therefore if both sides agree on
using standard they will be the ones controlling compliance to it ?
