gital Computer Software used in Safety Systems of Nuclear Power Plants,” which endorses the American National Standards Institute (ANSI)/IEEE Std 1008, “IEEE Standard for Software Unit Testing,” subject to the provisions and exceptions identified in the RG, identifies an acceptable method for satisfying software unit testing requirements. RG 1.172, “Software Requirements Specifications for Digital Computer Software Used in Safety Systems of Nuclear Power Plants,” which endorses IEEE Std 830, “IEEE Recommended Practice for Software Requirements Specifications,” subject to the provisions and exceptions identified in the RG, describes an acceptable approach for preparing software requirements specifications for safety system software. RG 1.173, “Developing Software Life Cycle Processes for Digital Computer Software used in Safety Systems of Nuclear Power Plants,” which endorses IEEE Std 1074, “IEEE Standard for Developing Software Life Cycle Processes,” subject to the provisions and exceptions identified in the RG, as providing an approach acceptable to the NRC staff for meeting the regulatory requirements and guidance as they apply to development processes for safety system software. NUREG/CR-6101, “Software Reliability and Safety in Nuclear Reactor Protection Systems.” The information in this BTP is generally based on the regulatory basis and guidance identified above, supplemented as appropriate for attaining the required safety functions. This BTP presents specific acceptance criteria for the elements of software reviews; however, important context information is found in the concepts contained in the referenced standards, reports, and RGs. A.3 Definitions Activity group - A collection of software life cycle activities, all of which are related to a specific life cycle topic. Design output - Documents such as drawings and specifications, which define technical requirements of structures, systems, and components. For software, design
