As an aid for developing tests about the market as a System of Systems or just a place of auction; Prevailing law for everything surrounding the process of going public guides explicitly the IPO as a process. The IPO is therefore a regulated process which includes standard feature sets, tests, & boilerplates, which must all conform to prevailing laws governing stock issuance. The actual Stock issued, becomes the product of any IPO. Issuance of any new stock is a regulated function linked to the historical event of going public.

Initial public offering (IPO)
bizterms.net
ipo: Initial Public Offering (ipo) is a company's offering of newly issued shares from treasury to the general public. It is generally the first time that a company does so - making the transition from being a closed-door privately operated company to being a publicly traded, highly visible, entity. When doing an ipo, an underwriter, i.e. a stockbroker firm, handles the distribution of shares to the public. Effectively, the brokerage firm subscribes (underwrites) for the shares and then sells them to its clients (investors). After the ipo, the shares will then trade on a stock exchange. It is sometime referred to as "going public". Entrepreneurs and VCs (Venture, or "vulture" Capitalists) sometimes call it "cashing in". Up until a company is public (i.e. anyone can buy or sell its shares), it is private and operates away from the limelight. Companies often go public to raise huge amounts of money or to give investors liquidity.
