MIL-STD-498, Software Development and Documentation
What is MIL-STD-498?
MIL-STD-498 is the DoD's software development standard.
It was developed with four primary objectives:
Merge DOD-STD-2167A, used for weapon systems, with DOD-STD-7935A,used for
automated information systems, creating a single software development standard
for DoD.
Resolve issues raised in the use of these standards
Ensure compatibility with current DoD directives, instructions, and other standards
Provide a basis for U.S. implementation of ISO/IEC 12207, Software Life Cycle Processes
The MIL-STD-498 package consists of the standard and 22 Data Item Descriptions (DIDs).
You can Download now a free copy of MIL-STD-498 in PDF format.
