An Air Force Guide to the Computer Program Development Specification

Abstract

This report provides explanatory guidance and examples to support the effective preparation and evaluation of development specifications for computer programs. It is one of a series of guidebooks prepared to assist members of Air Force program offices in managing the software aspects of military system acquisitions. The guide contains an introductory section which outlines the manner in which requirements for computer programs should be developed during the conceptual and validation phases of a system program, including attention to implications for the nature of required technical skills of responsible Government and contractor personnel. The body of the guide is devoted to descriptions of the proper emphasis and level of content for each section and paragraph of a completed specification when prepared in accordance with the instructions contained in MIL-STD-483 for the computer program development (Part I, or Type B5) specification.
