For Better Software Systems Development Why is There J-STD-016-1995? To bring MIL-STD-498's deliberately limited (2-year) life to a close. SecDef Perry's memo of 29 Jun 94 began the retirement of military Software Development standards. Despite the memo, MIL-STD-498 was adopted on 5 Dec 94 to provide a bridge to a suitable non-governmental Software life cycle processes standard yet to be developed. That replacement standard is now called IEEE/EIA 12207.

9 J-STD-016-1995 was the first step toward it. Copyright 1999 by Abelia Corporation. All rights reserved worldwide. Lewis Gray - 10.

For Better Software Systems Development MIL-STD-498 vs. J-STD-016-1995. Bottom Line . J-STD-016 is a demilitarized MIL-STD-498. J-STD-016-1995 adds a general requirement for traceability similar to the traceability elements in MIL-STD-498 DIDs.

10 For each detailed requirement in MIL-STD-498 there is one in J-STD-016-1995 with the same technical content. Two additional activities in J-STD-016-1995 update system and Software requirements to match the as-built Software . For each MIL-STD-498 DID there is a product description in J-STD-016-1995 with the same content. Every data item in J-STD-016-1995 is also in MIL-STD-498. Copyright 1999 by Abelia Corporation.
