Software engineering standards approach the process from many directions, addressing documentation, life cycle management, assessment, and testing. Standards for Software product Quality Requirements and Evaluation (SQuaRE) and lifecycle profiles for Very Small Entities (VSEs) contribute to this collection, as does measurement, assurance, and a host of other considerations. Because software engineering is so often a collaborative effort, worked on by multiple people, if not multiple teams, standardization is an important part of assuring cohesion during the process and quality in the output.
