TS ISO/IEC/IEEE 24765
Systems and software engineering -- Vocabulary
Consistent with ISO vocabulary standards, each technical committee is responsible for standard terminology
in its area of specialization. This International Standard provides a common vocabulary applicable to all
systems and software engineering work falling within the scope of ISO JTC 1/SC 7.
The scope of each concept defined has been chosen to provide a definition that is suitable for general
application. In those circumstances where a restricted application is concerned, a more specific definition
might be needed.

About This Item
TS ISO/IEC/IEEE 24765 is a comprehensive vocabulary standard for systems and software engineering. Its main purpose is to establish a shared language for the field so that terms are used consistently across requirements, design, verification, operation, maintenance, and related technical documentation.
The standard provides a common vocabulary applicable to systems and software engineering work within the scope of ISO JTC 1/SC 7. The definitions are selected for general applicability, which means a narrower project, lifecycle model, software class, or industry domain may still need more specific terminology. That is a normal feature of vocabulary standards: they clarify concepts at a broad level without trying to exhaust every specialist usage.
Why terminology matters in systems and software engineering
Systems engineering and software engineering are closely related but not identical. Systems engineering addresses the larger whole, including hardware, software, people, and process elements working together, while software engineering focuses on the technical activities involved in developing, evolving, and sustaining software. Clear terminology matters because it reduces ambiguity in specifications, contracts, technical reviews, and day-to-day communication.
- Supports consistent terminology across engineering documents.
- Helps different teams interpret key concepts in the same way.
- Uses general-purpose definitions rather than narrow project-specific ones.
- Based on the ISO/IEC/IEEE 24765:2010 reference work.
In practical terms, a vocabulary standard does not prescribe a development method or a test procedure. Instead, it stabilizes the meaning of terms used in lifecycle planning, configuration management, quality assurance, verification, and validation, making technical communication more reliable.
This listing represents the withdrawn edition of the standard family as recorded here; its value lies in understanding and using the terminology framework itself, not in claiming a separate conformity regime.
