ISO/IEC/IEEE 29148:2018 - Systems and Software Engineering - Requirements Engineering
The international standard for engineering requirements for systems and software: how to write well-formed requirements and sets of requirements, how to run business or mission analysis, stakeholder requirements definition and system or software requirements definition with traceability and derived requirements, how requirements feed architecture, verification and validation, how they are changed, configured and measured, and what the business, stakeholder, system and software requirements specifications and the operational concept must contain.
ISO/IEC/IEEE 29148:2018 - Systems and Software Engineering - Requirements Engineering is a compliance framework from International (ISO/IEC JTC 1/SC 7 and IEEE Computer Society S2ESC); adopted as BS ISO/IEC/IEEE 29148:2018 and CSA ISO/IEC/IEEE 29148:19 (IDT) with 6 domains and 73 controls that map to 4 other frameworks. The largest domains are Clause 9: Information item content – ISO/IEC/IEEE 29148:2018 - Systems and Software Engineering - Requirements Engineering (30 controls), Clause 6: Requirements processes – ISO/IEC/IEEE 29148:2018 - Systems and Software Engineering - Requirements Engineering (27 controls), Annex A: System operational concept – ISO/IEC/IEEE 29148:2018 - Systems and Software Engineering - Requirements Engineering (8 controls). Every control below carries what it requires and what an assessor expects to see.
