MIL-STD-2167

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The terms "MIL-STD-2167(A)" and "MIL-STD-2168" are the official codes^[1][2] for the former U.S. DoD military standards describing documents and procedures required for developing military computer systems, under the guidance of military personnel. (Those standards were superseded by MIL-STD-498 in 1994). Specifically:

• MIL-STD-2167 described the necessary project documentation to be delivered when developing a computer software system using the waterfall model.^[3][1][2]
• MIL-STD-2168 was the DoD's software quality assurance standard, ^[2] titled "Defense System Software Quality Program".

On December 5th, 1994, the standards 2167A/2168 were superseded by MIL-STD-498, which merged MIL-STD-2167A, DOD-STD-7935A, and DOD-STD-2168 into a single document, and addressed some vendor criticisms.
