ISO/IEC 12207 - Primary Lifecycle Processes

Primary Lifecycle Processes

The primary lifecycle processes contain the core processes involved in creating a software product. These processes are divided into six different main processes:

  • Acquisition
  • Supply
  • Development
  • Operation
  • Maintenance
  • Destruction

Because the primary lifecycle processes cover a very large area a scope was defined. This entry explains all the primary lifecycle processes but will explain the Acquisition and Development processes more extensively.

Famous quotes containing the words primary and/or processes:

    A fact is a proposition of which the verification by an appeal to the primary sources of our knowledge or to experience is direct and simple. A theory, on the other hand, if true, has all the characteristics of a fact except that its verification is possible only by indirect, remote, and difficult means.
    Chauncey Wright (1830–1875)

    Our bodies are shaped to bear children, and our lives are a working out of the processes of creation. All our ambitions and intelligence are beside that great elemental point.
    Phyllis McGinley (1905–1978)
