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:

    “Wilful sterility is, from the standpoint of the nation, from the standpoint of the human race, the one sin for which the penalty is national death, race death; a sin for which there is no atonement.... No man, no woman, can shirk the primary duties of life, whether for love of ease and pleasure, or for any other cause, and retain his or her self-respect.”
    —Theodore Roosevelt (1858–1919)

    “All the followers of science are fully persuaded that the processes of investigation, if only pushed far enough, will give one certain solution to each question to which they can be applied.... This great law is embodied in the conception of truth and reality. The opinion which is fated to be ultimately agreed to by all who investigate is what we mean by the truth, and the object represented in this opinion is the real.”
    —Charles Sanders Peirce (1839–1914)
