The adoption of the International Standard by IEEEincludes an implementation note, which explains terminology differences, identifies

5、e IEEE Societies and the Standards Coordinat-ing Committees of the IEEE Standards Association (IEEE-SA) Standards Board. Members of thecommittees serve voluntarily and without compensation. They are not necessarily members of theInstitute. The standards developed within IEEE represent a consensus of

6、 the broad expertise on thesubject within the Institute as well as those activities outside of IEEE that have expressed an inter-est in participating in the development of the standard.Use of an IEEE Standard is wholly voluntary. The existence of an IEEE Standard does not implythat there are no othe

7、r ways to produce, test, measure, purchase, market, or provide other goods andservices related to the scope of the IEEE Standard. Furthermore, the viewpoint expressed at thetime a standard is approved and issued is subject to change brought about through developments inthe state of the art and comme

8、nts received from users of the standard. Every IEEE Standard is sub-jected to review at least every five years for revision or reaffirmation. When a document is morethan five years old and has not been reaffirmed, it is reasonable to conclude that its contents,although still of some value, do not wh

9、olly reflect the present state of the art. Users are cautioned tocheck to determine that they have the latest edition of any IEEE Standard.Comments for revision of IEEE Standards are welcome from any interested party, regardless ofmembership affiliation with IEEE. Suggestions for changes in document

10、s should be in the form of aproposed change of text, together with appropriate supporting comments.Interpretations: Occasionally questions may arise regarding the meaning of portions of standards asthey relate to specific applications. When the need for interpretations is brought to the attention of

11、IEEE, the Institute will initiate action to prepare appropriate responses. Since IEEE Standards rep-resent a consensus of all concerned interests, it is important to ensure that any interpretation hasalso received the concurrence of a balance of interests. For this reason, IEEE and the members of it

12、ssocieties and Standards Coordinating Committees are not able to provide an instant response tointerpretation requests except in those cases where the matter has previously received formalconsideration. Comments on standards and requests for interpretations should be addressed to:Secretary, IEEE-SA

It is not part of ISO/IEC14102: 1995.)IEEE Std 1462-1998 is an adoption of ISO/IEC 14102: 19951. The fol

16、lowing implementation notes relate toIEEE interpretation of ISO/IEC 14102. TerminologyThe terms “metric” and “measurement” are both used in the document, and can be read as having the samemeaning. Some differences exist between the terminology used in IEEE Std 1462-1998 and that in IEEE Std 610.12-1

In some cases, the definition in IEEE Std 610.12-1990 may provide further clarification. It isimportant to keep in mind, however, that full compatibility of definitions

19、the standardIEEE Std 1462-1998 deals with the technical evaluation of a CASE tool. This represents only a portion ofthe overall process that covers the introduction of a new CASE tool into the organization. For example, thebusiness case including the business objectives that the CASE tool is intende

20、d to address are part of activi-ties that would precede the use of IEEE Std 1462-1998.Specifically, IEEE Std 1348-1995 covers the broader view, and places the evaluation as one of four steps.The reader is advised to review IEEE Std 1348-1995 together with IEEE Std 1462-1998 in order to establisha pr

21、oper scope and business case for the evaluation. IEEE recommends that the evaluation of a CASE tool betreated as a project with its associated budget and schedule controls.Section 9 and CASE tool characteristicsSection 9 of IEEE Std 1462-1998 describes a set of product characteristics against which

22、the evaluationshould be done. These are organized under the following four areas, which together form the basis for estab-lishing the requirements and performing the final evaluation:1) How the CASE tool meets the needs of the life cycle processes used;1ISO and ISO/IEC publications are available fro

23、m the ISO Central Secretariat, Case Postale 56, 1 rue de Varemb, CH-1211, Genve20, Switzerland/Suisse. ISO publications are also available in the United States from the Sales Department, American National Stan-dards Institute, 11 West 42nd Street, 13th Floor, New York, NY 10036, USA.2IEEE publicatio

24、ns are available from the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers, 445 Hoes Lane, P.O. Box 1331, Piscataway,NJ 08855-1331, USA.iv2) How the CASE relates to the overall tool environment;3) How the CASE tool itself performs; and 4) Other criteria.The requirements are organized as characteris

25、tics and subcharacteristics, adopting the software productquality model as defined in ISO/IEC 9126: 1991, Information technologySoftware product evaluationQuality characteristics and guidelines for their use. The high-level characteristic (also referred to as qualityfactor) is subdivided into subcha

26、racteristics, that in turn may be further subdivided. At the lowest level, theyare referred to as atomic subcharacteristics. The evaluation of each chosen characteristic and subcharacteris-tic is done through the establishment of a value for each atomic subcharacteristic.The user of IEEE Std 1462-19

27、98 should select from the set of characteristics noted. However, the followingshould be noted: Characteristics from each of the four areas should be selected to cover each of the major tool features. The characteristics, once selected, should be prioritized. This is particularly true for Areas 1 and

28、 3.These priorities should reflect the main objectives of the tool.ComplianceIEEE Std 1462-1998 provides guidance in the steps recommended to undertake the evaluation of a CASEtool or tools, and in the features (characteristics) of the CASE tool. The four processes described are notmandatory; there

29、are few “shall” statements, and the tailoring of these processes should be done carefully,since tailoring down may introduce added risk for a CASE evaluation project. Assumptions should be veri-fied with experienced staff whenever possible. IEEE recommends that any organization undertaking one or mo

30、re tool evaluations should provide the gen-eral level of compliance that it requires for any tool evaluation project. The process activities for a givenproject can then be further tailored, since the number of activities may vary depending on the criticality ofthe CASE tool being evaluated.In situat

31、ions where the evaluation is being subcontracted, it is recommended that the organization (pur-chaser) formally specify the minimum processes, activities, and tasks that are to be followed in IEEE Std1462-1998.vParticipantsThe following persons were on the balloting committee:When the IEEE-SA Standa
