A Framework for Software Products Within a System Context (2nd Edition)

Abstract

Any software development standard and all software products required by that standard need to be understood within the context of the total Set of related system standards and products if they are to be appropriately applied to a program development. For SMC/NRO programs, software seldom, if ever, stands alone independent of a larger hardware/software System context. This report provides the context to help the SMC/NRO SPOs or contractors with the task of defining software and software-related system-level products and their contents. This report describes the consistent philosophical structure needed to develop the tailoring of the software products defined by EIA/IEEE J-STD-016-1995 and their associated software-related system-level products. The EIA/IEEE standard is the commercial standard based on MIL-STD-498. This report documents the assumptions about the software products and their information content and defines the relationship of these software products with each other and with any software-related system-level products. system or software products that are needed but are not currently defined by any standard have been identified, and their content and the relationship to the existing software or system products has been defined. The figures and descriptions contained in this report do not imply that a specific physical document is required. The actual instantiation of any product described in this report is totally at the discretion of a particular SMC/NRO SPO or contractor. This report only intends to convey the class of information that must be available in some meaningful form and the relationships among the information. This report is divided into three Sections that cover all of the system products. The three Sections are "Plan Relationships," "Requirements/Design/Verification Relationships," and "System Operations and Maintenance Relationships."
