MIL-STD-498 - The purpose of this standard was to establish uniform requirements for software development and documentation. MIL-STD-498, dated 5 December 1994, was cancelled 27 May 1998. Information regarding software development and documentation is now contained in the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE)/Electronics
Industries Association (EIA) standard, IEEE/EIA 12207, "Information
Technology-Software Life Cycle Process." IEEE/EIA 12207 is packaged in three parts:
IEEE/EIA 12207.0, "Standard for Information Technology-Software Life Cycle
Processes" IEEE/EIA 12207.1, "Guide for ISO/IEC 12207, Standard for Information
Technology-Software Life Cycle Processes -- Life Cycle Data"; and IEEE/EIA 12207.2,
"Guide for ISO/IEC 12207, Standard for Information Technology -- Software Life Cycle Processes, Implementation Considerations."
