Proposed Supplemental Knowledge Areas (KAs)
Supplemental KAs are works in progress. Qualified practitioners are invited to draft a document that describes generally accepted knowledge in a new area. The Professional Activities Board reviews the document, then it is posted here for informal review and comment. Eventually, the document may undergo a full review and rewrite, before it undergoes the full SWEBOK review to become a full SWEBOK knowledge area.
Meanwhile, these drafts provide the basis for ongoing discussion of these areas and useful pointers in emerging areas. Supplemental KAs include
- Measurement
- Security
In addition, the 2010 refresh of SWEBOK will be using and refining a list of suggested point-wise security updates to the 2004 SWEBOK Guide:
- "Security-oriented Point-wise Changes to SWEBOK" (suggested point-wise security-related changes to the 2004 SWEBOK Guide)
