Abstract:
It is well-known that "software engineers" in Lebanon do not use standard methods. The common belief is that using standards might add to the cost of the software. This work goes against the common belief and emphasizes software quality and documentation. In this project, we propose standards for software development in
Lebanon and present guidelines for using these standards. The proposed standards are based on IEEE's and ISO's standards and on personal experience. They are simplified
and tailored to suit the small- to minimum-size activities of lebanese software
organizations. The proposed guidelines are presented in a checklist easy-to-use fashion.
