s. The description should also include test documentation requirements, readiness and evaluation criteria, error reporting, and anomaly resolution procedures. Testing documentation should include test item descriptions, test data, test logs, the identities of testers, types of observations, results and acceptability, and actions taken in connection with any deficiencies. Test case documentation should specify expected results and actual results. RG 1.170, “Software Test Documentation for Digital Computer Software Used in Safety Systems of Nuclear Power Plants,” which endorses IEEE Std 829, “IEEE Standard for Software Test Documentation,” describes acceptable methods for documenting test plans, test specifications, test procedures, test cases, and test reports. RG 1.171, “Software Unit Testing for Digital Computer Software Used in Safety Systems of Nuclear Power Plants,” which endorses ANSI/IEEE Std 1008, “IEEE Standard for Software Unit Testing,” describes acceptable methods for performing unit tests. B.3.1.10.3 Resource Characteristics for the SVVP The resource characteristics that the SVVP should exhibit include methods/tools and standards. Methods/tools involve a description of the methods, equipment, instrumentation and tools used to carry out each V&V task. Test methods should be specified for unit, integration, validation, installation and regression testing. The SVVP should specify a process for selecting tools. The hardware and software environment within which the V&V tools are to be applied and any necessary controls should be described. Standards refer to a list of the international, national, industry and company standards and guidelines to be followed by the V&V organization. B.3.1.10.4 Review Guidance for the SVVP The SVVP is a key document among the various plans reviewed.
