The purpose of the ISO/IEC/IEEE 29119 series is to define an internationally-agreed set of standards for software testing that can be used by any organization when performing any form of software testing. ISO/IEC/IEEE 29119-5 defines keyword-driven testing, which is an approach to describing test cases in a modular way. This standard explains the main concepts and attributes of keyword-driven testing and is applicable to all those who want to create keyword-driven test specifications, create corresponding frameworks, or build test automation based on keywords. This standard defines requirements on frameworks for keyword-driven testing to enable test engineers to share their test artefacts, such as test cases, test data, keywords, or complete test specifications. It also defines minimum requirements for tools supporting keyword-driven testing and defines requirements on a common data exchange format to ensure that tools from different vendors can exchange their data (e.g. test cases, test data and test results).

Other Activities From This Working Group
Current projects that have been authorized by the IEEE SA Standards Board to develop a standard.
P23612
Software and systems engineering -- Incident management
This document defines an incident management process and supporting documentation that can be used to manage and implement incident management within any organization, project or maintenance activity. Supporting informative diagrams describing the process and example documents are also provided. This standard is applicable to incident management in all life cycle models. It discusses the relationship of incident management to problem management and can be applied to security incident management.
P29119-8
Software and systems engineering – Software testing – Part 8: Model-based Testing
This standard provides requirements and guidelines on applying model-based testing (MBT) to software testing consistent with the processes defined in the ISO/IEC/IEEE 29119 series of standards. This standard addresses the following areas: a) Definitions for MBT b) Mapping of the MBT tasks to ISO/IEC/IEEE 29119-2 c) How the processes in ISO/IEC/IEEE 29119-2 are extended for MBT d) Measures to be collected for the MBT tasks In MBT, the generation and execution of testware are automated. The MBT generation algorithm implementation is tool-dependent and, therefore, is out of the scope. The MBT tool selection is also out of the scope.
Standards approved by the IEEE SA Standards Board that are within the 10-year lifecycle.
No Active Standards
These standards have been replaced with a revised version of the standard, or by a compilation of the original active standard and all its existing amendments, corrigenda, and errata.
No Superseded Standards
These standards have been removed from active status through a ballot where the standard is made inactive as a consensus decision of a balloting group.
No Inactive-Withdrawn Standards
These standards are removed from active status through an administrative process for standards that have not undergone a revision process within 10 years.
No Inactive-Reserved Standards
