Question

Application Logic ???

Question???? And it's a deep one I believe.....
Is "application logic" (this is what some computer programers call it) where boolean equations are used exclusively in the program really just a software program? And would "application logic" be subject to the IEEE guidelines for stuff like 730-SQAP, 828SCMP, 830SRS & 1012 SV&V you get the idea.
Now I am by no means any type of programmer or computer expert, just a QA guy trying to figure this all out and thought CNet might be the place to start.
Like I said kind of deep, I'm looking for somewhat serious opines...

Can you provide a link with some examples about what you mean with "application logic".

And can you explain why or why not (according to you) the IEEE guidelines you mention (about configuration and requirements management and testing apply or don't apply? Then we have something to discuss.

Finally, why do you think a forum about PC Applications is a good place to discuss Software Engineering topics?

Anyhow, as you know there are some too many IEEE guides on this so I can't be specific.

I do want to share that as a software author part of my duty was to explain my app to QA. It was part of the challenge to get the product out which I signed up for. QA on their part were not programmers but willing to learn so we did well and got the app out.

In other words, I didn't expect QA to become programmers but put effort into making an executive summary, then a slightly deeper 2 page primer then spent a few days answering questions.

What I didn't do was go over the code line by line. There was no budget for that.
