activity groups, and to staged checkpoints at which product and process characteristics are verified during the development process, as described in Section 7.1 and BTP HICB-14, Section B.3.1. 6. The adequacy of the software life cycle process implementation — A sample of verification and validation, safety analysis, and configuration management documentation for various life-cycle phases should be audited to confirm that the applicant/licensee's life-cycle activities have been implemented as planned. BTP HICB-14, Section B.3.2, describes acceptance criteria and review procedures that provide guidance for the conduct of these audits. 7. Software life cycle process design outputs — The conformance of the hardware and software to the functional and process requirements derived from the design bases should be audited. A sample of software design outputs should be reviewed to confirm that they address the functional requirements allocated to the software, and that the expected software development process characteristics are evident in the design outputs. The review of validation and installation activities should include confirmation of Rev. 4 — June 1997 SRP 7.0-A-6 the adequacy of the system test procedures and test results (validation tests, site acceptance tests, pre-operational and start-up tests) that provide assurance that the system functions as intended. BTP HICB-14, Section B.3.3, describes functional characteristics and software development process characteristics that are verified by these audits. Review of D-in-D&D (topic 3 above) will involve the review of several I&C systems to determine how the overall I&C design functions interact to protect against common-mode failure. This review may involve both non-computer systems and computer-based systems. The review of topics 4, 5, and 6 may be conducted once to evaluate a design process that is common to multiple systems. The review of topic 7 should involve a sample of the products from each digital
