Abstract

System life cycle tends to be longer in military applications, reaching over 30 years in specific examples. Development and maintenance of software contained by these systems are regulated by software development standards. Such standards are being utilized since 1978 in the military domain. During recent decades, these standards evolved along with software engineering concepts. This paper presents progress of software development standards in the military domain, with special emphasis on life cycle of applications. This progress is evolutionary, without radical shifts in contents and concepts. Details of the progress provide an insight to the evolution at a conceptual level. Experimental findings regarding the evolution are presented. The study is concluded with comments on the relation between standards' evolution and software applications.
