. However, the software development process characteristics listed below should be exhibited by software training manuals. B.3.3.9.1 Process Characteristics of STMs The STMS should exhibit each of the specified software development process characteristics: completeness, consistency, style, and traceability. Completeness means that all actions available to the operator are fully described for all operating modes, including error recovery. Operator actions should be specified in terms of inputs supplied by users and equipment, actions initiated by the operation, and responses to the user. The training manual should describe the operational environment within which the BTP 7.14-66 Revision 5 - March 2007 software will operate, including precautions and limitations that must be observed during operations to avoid exposing personnel or the plant to hazards. All variables in the physical environment that the software must monitor and control should be fully described. User interfaces should be fully described for each category of user. Consistency means that the training manual is consistent with the safety system requirements, the safety system design, the SRSs, the SDS, and documented descriptions and known properties of the operational environment within which the safety system will operate. Individual user instructions should not contradict other instructions. Uniform and consistent terminology, notation, and definitions should be used throughout the training manuals. Style means that the training manual is understandable by the users. A precise definition of each technical term should exist, either in the training manual or in a separate dictionary or glossary. The operations manual may be organized in the style of a tutorial guide, with the assumption that the users also have access to the operations manual. Traceability means that a forward trace exists between the SRS, the training plan, and the training manual, which shows how each requirement is to be carried
