本标准引用IEEE Std 12207（TM）-2008来描述系统和软件重用过程。1它描述了重用过程与IEEE Std 12207-2008第6条（系统生命周期过程）中描述的系统生命周期过程以及第7条中描述的软件生命周期过程之间的关系 IEEE标准12207-2008中的（软件特定过程）。本标准定义了过程，并规定了过程要求，但未规定具体技术。规定过程的范围比IEEE Std 12207-2008的范围更广，因为重用活动超出了产品的生命周期 任何特定的系统。指定的流程适用于整个组织。

This standard draws on IEEE Std 12207(TM)-2008 to describe system and software reuse processes.1 It describes the relationship of reuse processes to system life cycle processes described in Clause 6 (System Life Cycle Processes) of IEEE Std 12207-2008 and software life cycle processes described in Clause 7 (Software Specific Processes) of IEEE Std 12207-2008. The standard defines processes and specifies requirements for the processes but does not specify particular techniques. The scope of the specified processes is broader than that of IEEE Std 12207-2008 because reuse activities transcend the life cycle of any particular system. The specified processes are suitable on an organization-wide basis.
