E&V Guidebook, Version 1.1
Abstract
The Ada community, including government, industry,and academic personnel, needs the capability to assess APSEs (Ada Programming Support Environments) and their components, and to determine their conformance to applicable standards (e.g., DoD-STD-1838, the CAIS standard). The technology required to fully satisfy this need is extensive and largely unavailable; it cannot be acquired by a single government-sponsored, professional society- sponsored, or private effort. The purpose of the APSE Evaluation and Validation (E&V) Task is to provide a focal point for addressing the need by: 1) Identifying and defining specific technology requirements; 2) Developing selected elements of this technology; 3) Encouraging others to develop additional elements; and 4) Collecting information describing elements which already exist. The purpose of the E&V Guidebook (this document) is to provide information that will help users to assess APSEs and APSE components by: 1) Assisting in the selection of E&V procedures, the interpretation of results, and integration of analyses and results; 2) Describing E&V procedures and techniques developed by the E&V Task; and 3) Assisting in the location of E&V procedures and techniques developed outside the E&V Task. All E&V procedures and techniques found in the Guidebook are referenced by the indexes contained in the companion document called the E&V Reference Manual.
