Software Acquisition Documentation Requirements for Mode Select Beacon System (Mode S) Sensor

Abstract

These guidelines specify the content and extent of documentation requirements for software/firmware developed for the Mode S System. Document types related to development phases are specified and content requirements for eleven document types are provided. Parts 1 through 10 specify requirements for the development of documentation for each Mode S computer program configuration item (CPCI) throughout the development, test, acceptance, and operational phases of the Mode S Program. Part eleven specifies requirements for defining the management methods employed in support of CPCI development. The eleven document types are: Mode S Functional Requirements Document; Mode S Software Top Level Design Document; Mode S Software Detailed Design Document; Software Test Plan; Software Test Procedures; Software Test Report; Version Description Document; Software Users Manual; Software Maintenance Manual; Diagnostics Manual; Software Development Plan. The requirements specified for documenting software/firmware requirements constitute a documentation methodology that requires the hierarchical traceability of all Mode S System Specification software/firmware from the FAA-E-2716 Specification to the lowest level of decomposition.
