Adopt standards for software development in Egypt
 

Profile


The software industry in Egypt lacks formal standards and
Standardization Authority.

Objectives











 
1.

Identify software engineering standards from multiple perspectives that had been set by the international engineering Community.
2.

Focus on the technical aspects (evaluating tools and techniques which apply business model principle).
3. Assess the effectiveness of target standards.
4.

Concentrate on standards, which propose framework for integrating measurement of software problems and defects.
5.

Identify long range development and harmonization requirements for software engineering standards.

Strategy

 


1. Effectiveness available international standards (SEI Specific).
2.
Demonstrate the target standard to the local S/W community.
3. Get community approval.
4.
Publish the standards.
