ISO/IEC TR 29110-3-1 is an International Standard on software and systems engineering that defines the process assessment guidelines needed to meet the purpose of defined VSE profiles. ISO/IEC TR 29110-3-1 is applicable to all VSE profiles and is compatible with ISO/IEC 33002.
ISO/IEC TR 29110-3-1 on process assessment guidelines is relevant to:
A Very Small Entity (VSE) is defined as an enterprise, an organization, a department, or a project having up to 25 people. It has been found that VSEs find it difficult to relate International Standards to their business needs and to justify the effort required to apply standards to their business practices. In this regard, the purpose of a profile is to define a subset of International Standards relevant to the VSEs’ context.
ISO/IEC TR 29110-3-1 is useful as it carries out assessment to evaluate the process capabilities as well as the supplier’s capability assessment.
Overall, ISO/IEC TR 29110-3-1 compliance helps in the recognition of VSEs as entities that produce quality systems/system elements, including software in their domain, thereby enabling their significant contribution in economic activities.
