Consistent with ISO vocabulary standards, each technical committee is responsible for standard terminology in its area of specialization. BS ISO/IEC/IEEE 24765:2017 provides a common vocabulary applicable to all systems and software engineering work falling within the scope of ISO/IEC JTC 1/SC 7, Software and systems engineering, and the IEEE Computer Society Systems and Software Engineering Standards Committee (IEEECS S2ESC).

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.

Terms have been excluded if they were:

• considered to be parochial to one group or organization;
• company proprietary or trademarked;
• multiword terms whose meaning could be inferred from the definitions of the component words; and
• terms whose meaning in the information technology (IT) field could be directly inferred from their common English dictionary meaning.
