ISO/IEC JTC 1/SC 7

Software and systems engineering

SCOPE

Software is now ubiquitous and an extremely important element in almost any technology and technology based systems. The market demand for quickly produced, reliable yet easily modifiable, globally accessible yet managed and con-trolled software and systems is making a significant demand on the software and systems engineering community. Some of the biggest challenges of ISO/IEC/JTC1/SC7 are

  • ISO/IEC/JTC 1/SC7 standards are often regarded as less relevant to these communities  
  • ISO/IEC/JTC1/SC7 is unable to reach these communities and make the significance and relevance of their work known. If we are unable to respond with agility, the subcommittee is at significant risk of losing considerable impact, influence and relevance.

The ISO/IEC/JTC1/SC7 has considered the current market trends and to deal effectively with these needs, has embarked upon certain working group level initiatives as well as the creation of study groups.

    A valid link to SC7 Business Plan can be found at: https://www.iso.org/committee/45086.html SC7 is one of the large standardization sub-committees with over 190 published standards and 12 active working groups. The topics cover software and system quality, development life cycles, process assessment, bodies of knowledge, asset management, testing, architecture etc. Thus, a big challenge is to identify the standards that are meaningful to a specific user. Many developers would benefit of the standards, especially when safety and trustworthiness of the products is of importance. One of the new areas of interest in SC7 is System of Systems Engineering, and the newly developed standards should be most useful in trying to manage complicated, multi-owner systems development. The SC7 standards are used in many areas and countries to establish internationally competitive capabilities. A good example is the Automotive SPICE that was first used in Europe but is now a de facto standard in car manufacturing internationally. According to the SC7 Business Plan, the priority areas for standardization are now: - Modifications of existing standards to incorporate Agile and DevOps in software and systems engineering processes - Re-packaging of SC7 product line and products to reach a wider audience - New or revised standards in the acquisition, development, evolution, asset management and sustainment of support of software and systems, including systems of systems and product lines - Standards for Interoperability and Interfaces between systems - Standards that are usable by organizations of various sizes - Standards for engineering of autonomous systems - Standards for the use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in Testing and the testing of AI systems With this on mind, I strongly believe that SC7 can, also in the future, provide standards to support trustworthy software and systems engineering. Application of the standards could also improve European systems quality and competitiveness! Timo Varkoi, senior advisor, Finnish Software Measurement Association
