uld specify the person or group responsible for the successful completion of each V&V task. It should specify the person with authority to approve the successful completion of each V&V task. It should specify the person with authority to approve the release of the reviewed and tested software design outputs. Risks involve specification of the methods used to identify and manage risks associated with the V&V process. The SVVP should specify a method for evaluating the risk to safety associated with each software item. It should describe a method for identifying the risk associated with each V&V task. A contingency plan should be included to identify risk factors that may cause the V&V task to fail to perform its functions, and to recover from any such failure. B.3.1.10.2 Implementation Characteristics of the SVVP The implementation characteristics that the SVVP should exhibit include measurement and procedures. Measurement consists of a set of indicators used to determine the success or failure of the software V&V effort. The SVVP should specify the criteria to be used to verify the completion of each V&V task. Evaluation criteria should be provided for test plans, test specifications, test procedures and test cases. Evaluation criteria should be provided for review plans, review specifications and review procedures. The SVVP should require that V&V analysis, review and testing data be systematically collected and analyzed to determine the effectiveness of the V&V effort. The error rate found during software reviews and software testing should be measured, recorded, analyzed and reported. Procedures involve a description of the software review and testing strategy. The SVVP should describe the management of the software V&V activities. It should specify the V&V tasks which will be carried out, including the planning assumptions for each task. It should establish the procedures and methods by which each V&V task will be performed, including the activities required to
