This document provides guidance on methods and procedures covering a number of techniques which form part of, or are closely related to, quality assurance in design

DEF STAN 00-16/1

Guide to the achievement of Quality in Software

The purpose of this document is to provide guidance on the methods and procedures necessary to establish confidence in the quality of Software for Operational Defence Computer applications.

DEF STAN 05-91

Quality System requirements for design/development, production, installation and servicing.

This document specifies quality requirements for a contractors design/development, production, installation and servicing system.

ISO/IEC 12207

Information technology - Software life cycle processes.

This document provides a framework that can be used by software practitioners to "speak the same language" to create and manage software.

ISO/IEC 15288

- System life cycle processes.

This document provides a framework that can be used by system engineering management practitioners to "speak the same language" to create and manage technical system.

DO-178B / ED-12B

Software Considerations in Airborne Systems and Equipment Certification

The purpose of this document is to provide guide-lines for the production of software for airborne systems and equipment that perform its intended function with a level of confidence in safety that complies with airworthiness requirements.
These guide-lines are in the form of:

Objectives for software life cycle processes;
Descriptions of activities and design considerations for achieving those objectives;
Descriptions of the evidence that indicates that the objectives have been satisfied.

ISO 9001

Quality systems - model for quality assurance in design, development, production, installation, and servicing.

This document specifies requirements aimed primarily at achieving customer satisfaction by preventing non-conformity at all stages from design through to servicing.

DEF STAN 05-28/1

Guide to the preparation of specifications

The purpose of this document is to specify requirements for the specifications and associated documentation necessary to design complex technical systems.

DOD-STD-2168

Software Quality Program

The purpose of this document is to establish a 'Software Quality Program Plan' which basically demands phase independent audits of the processes involved in the development of software.
Historical note: This task was integrated within the 'Software Quality Evaluation Plan' part of DOD-STD-2167 and was a complementary with DOD-STD-2167

It is unclear what will replace it.
