ISO/IEC 29110-2-1:2015

ISO/IEC 29110-2-1:2015 is applicable to Very Small Entities (VSEs). The lifecycle processes described in ISO/IEC 29110 are not intended to preclude or discourage their use by organizations bigger than VSEs. However, certain issues faced by large organizations might not be covered by ISO/IEC 29110.

The lifecycle processes defined in ISO/IEC 29110 can be used by VSEs when acquiring and using, as well as when creating and supplying, a software, and systems. They can be applied at any level in a software and systems structure and at any stage in the lifecycle. The processes described in ISO/IEC 29110 are not intended to preclude or discourage the use of additional processes that VSEs find useful.

ISO/IEC 29110-2-1:2015 introduces the major concepts for software and systems engineering profiles for VSEs, and defines the terms common to the set of documents associated with VSE profiles.

It establishes the logic behind the definition and application of profiles. It specifies the elements common to all standardized profiles (structure, conformance, assessment).

ISO/IEC 29110-2-1:2015 is applicable to all profiles.

ISO/IEC 29110-2-1:2015 is targeted at authors and reviewers of standardized profiles, authors of other parts, and authors of other VSE profiles.
