ISO/IEC/IEEE 15939:2017详细介绍了ISO/IEC 15288和ISO/IEC 12207的测量过程。测量过程适用于系统和软件工程及管理学科。该过程通过一个模型来描述，该模型定义了测量过程的活动，这些活动是充分指定所需测量信息、如何应用测量和分析结果以及如何确定分析结果是否有效所必需的。测量过程灵活、可定制，并可适应不同用户的需求。 ISO/IEC/IEEE 15939:2017确定了一个过程，该过程支持定义一组适当的措施，以满足特定的信息需求。它确定了在整个项目或组织度量结构中成功识别、定义、选择、应用和改进度量所需的活动和任务。它还提供了常用测量术语的定义。

ISO/IEC/IEEE 15939:2017 provides an elaboration of the measurement process from ISO/IEC 15288 and ISO/IEC 12207. The measurement process is applicable to system and software engineering and management disciplines. The process is described through a model that defines the activities of the measurement process that are required to adequately specify what measurement information is required, how the measures and analysis results are to be applied, and how to determine if the analysis results are valid. The measurement process is flexible, tailorable, and adaptable to the needs of different users. ISO/IEC/IEEE 15939:2017 identifies a process that supports defining a suitable set of measures that address specific information needs. It identifies the activities and tasks that are necessary to successfully identify, define, select, apply, and improve measurement within an overall project or organizational measurement structure. It also provides definitions for commonly used measurement terms.
