ISO 29119 – the new set of international standards on software testing
Stuart Reid
Testing Solutions Group
In May 2007 ISO formed a working group to develop new standards on software testing – a new area for ISO – the first three of these standards were published in September 2013. This initiative is closely-supported by IEEE and BSI, both of which have donated existing standards as source documents to the project (these standards will be retired as the new standards are published).
