E and V (Evaluation and Validation) Reference Manual. Version 2.0
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 Reference Manual (this document) is to provide information that will help users to: 1) Gain an overall understanding of APSEs and approaches to their assessment; 2) Find useful reference information (e.g., definitions) about specific elements and relationships between elements; and 3) Find criteria and metrics for assessing tools and APSEs, and techniques for performing such assessments.
