scope:

This part of ISO/IEC/IEEE 29119 specifies software test documentation templates that can be used by any organization, project or smaller testing activity. It describes the test documentation that is an output of the processes specified in ISO/IEC/IEEE 29119-2 Test Processes. An overview of the documents is provided in Figure 1 below. A slightly larger version of this figure is provided in Annex A.

This part of ISO/IEC/IEEE 29119 is applicable to testing in all software development lifecycle models.

This part of ISO/IEC/IEEE 29119 is intended for, but not limited to, testers, test managers, developers, and project managers, particularly those responsible for governing, managing, and implementing software testing.

The documents described in this part of ISO/IEC/IEEE 29119 may be issued in several versions over time. However, the handling of multiple versions of documents is out of scope of this part of ISO/IEC/IEEE 29119, because this is a configuration management issue.
