IEEE 1175.2-2006

Identify a standard set of attributes that characterize the contexts in which a CASE tool operates. These contexts are organizations, users, platforms, and other tools. The attributes in each context summarize the major factors affecting interconnection of the tool with that context. These are multi-dimensional attributes whose "values" are project-specific, organization-specific, professional, military and/or international standards for these attributes are identified. This is an expansion of Section 2 of the original 1175-1995 standard.
