12、773:2008(E) iv ISO/IEC 2008 All rights reserved Foreword ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) and IEC (the International Electrotechnical Commission) form the specialized system for worldwide standardization. National bodies that are members of ISO or IEC participate in the devel
13、opment of International Standards through technical committees established by the respective organization to deal with particular fields of technical activity. ISO and IEC technical committees collaborate in fields of mutual interest. Other international organizations, governmental and non-governmen
14、tal, in liaison with ISO and IEC, also take part in the work. In the field of information technology, ISO and IEC have established a joint technical committee, ISO/IEC JTC 1. International Standards are drafted in accordance with the rules given in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2. The main task of th
15、e joint technical committee is to prepare International Standards. Draft International Standards adopted by the joint technical committee are circulated to national bodies for voting. Publication as an International Standard requires approval by at least 75 % of the national bodies casting a vote. A

18、773:2008(E) ISO/IEC 2008 All rights reserved v Introduction Over the past several decades, software systems have become critical components of most aspects of life. At the same time, these systems have become increasingly complex. One response to this situation has been the recognition and codificat
19、ion of effective practices for software development processes and products. This effort has led to the development of systems and software engineering standards by ISO and IEC, by professional societies, and by national standards bodies. It has also led to the definition of an internationally recogn
20、ized body of knowledge for software engineering 1. At the same time, there has been a broad-based effort to increase the professionalism of developers of software systems. This effort has included the extension of professional engineering qualifications (e.g. licensed or chartered status) to softwar
21、e engineers and the creation of certification schemes for software engineering professionals. All certifications assess candidates competencies, either by examination or by review of a candidates competencies, including education, experience, and mastery of specific skills. The increasing globalizat
22、ion of the software industry implies that a software engineering professional is likely to work in different countries over the course of a career. It is therefore important to develop ways to increase the portability of professional certifications in this domain. This International Standard will re
23、spond to the needs of multi-national organizations or suppliers for developing software for a foreign customer (including offshoring) that requires software engineering professional certifications. This International Standard will facilitate the portability of software engineering professional certi
24、fications between different countries. At present, different countries have adopted different approaches on the topic that are implemented by means of regulations and bylaws. The intention of this International Standard is to be open to these national approaches by providing a framework for expressi
25、ng them in a common scheme that can lead to understanding between different countries. This International Standard refines and supplements the processes for certification of individuals included in ISO/IEC 17024:2003, Conformity Assessment General requirements for bodies operating certification of p
26、ersons. The management and implementation of the Scheme developed under this International Standard can also take into account the processes and definitions of ISO/IEC 17024. A certification body for software engineering professionals seeking accreditation as such will be required to demonstrate con
27、formance to ISO/IEC 17024 and to this International Standard. This does not preclude a certification body for software engineering professionals from using this International Standard alone to compare its Scheme with other certification bodies as a basis for a mutual recognition agreement. In some c
28、ountries, governments and other bodies assess the qualifications of software engineering professionals by evaluating candidates knowledge, skills and job experience and issuing certificates of qualification to those demonstrating competence as defined by an assessing organization. Such an organizati
29、on is defined as qualification body in this International Standard. A qualification body can use appropriate components of Clauses 4.1 to 4.6, 5 and 6 of this standard for comparison with other such schemes or as a delegated qualification body under Clause 7 of this International Standard. Education
30、al organisations can also use a Scheme developed under this International Standard for comparison purposes. The Guide to the body of knowledge, ISO/IEC TR 19759:2005, Software Engineering Guide to the Software Engineering Body of Knowledge 1 is utilized in this International Standard for comparison
31、of software engineering bodies of knowledge. Education bodies, qualification or examination bodies and certification bodies are not required to use, or comply with, SWEBOK, but are required to map a software engineering body of knowledge to SWEBOK. This will enable comparisons between the software e
32、ngineering component (Clause 5.1.1) of the body of knowledge in the Scheme.

36、008 All rights reserved 1 Software engineering Certification of software engineering professionals Comparison framework 1 Scope 1.1 Purpose This International Standard establishes a framework for comparison of schemes for certifying software engineering professionals. A certification scheme is a set
37、 of certification requirements for software engineering professionals. This International Standard specifies the items that a scheme is required to contain and indicates what should be defined for each item. 1.2 Field of application This International Standard has a number of intended users, as foll
38、ows: Educators, academics and course developers: will use Clauses 4.1 to 4.6, 5 and 6 of this International Standard to map their course structure and design against another course or educational requirement; develop new courses; make decisions about mutual recognition. Examining bodies: will use Cl
39、auses 4.1 to 4.6, 5 and 6 of this International Standard to construct examination and/or evaluation schemes; make decisions about mutual recognition. Industry and professional bodies: will use this International Standard to develop and maintain certification schemes; make decisions about mutual reco
40、gnition. Government bodies: will use this International Standard for policy development; funding decisions; skills assessment; regulation of professionals; facilitation of trade agreements between countries. 2 Normative references The following referenced documents are indispensable for the applicat
