1 Scope
This document, within the context of methods and tools that support the product line
measurement and management and that demonstrate the quality of the products and a product line:
-
— specifies processes for product line measurement (the processes are described in terms of purpose, inputs, tasks and outcomes);
-
— specifies method capabilities to support the defined tasks of each process;
-
— specifies tool capabilities that automate or semi-automate tasks and methods.
This document does not concern the processes and capabilities of tools and methods
for a single system but rather deals with those for a family of products.
