s and authority of the software integration organization. B.3.1.4.2 Implementation Characteristics of the SIntP The implementation characteristics that the SIntP should exhibit include measurement and procedures. Measurement refers to a set of indicators used to determine the success or failure of the integration effort. The SIntP should require that data associated with the integration of the software, and of the hardware/software combination, be collected and analyzed to determine the adequacy of the integration effort. The error rate found during integration activities should be measured, recorded, analyzed and reported. Procedures involve an integration strategy. The SIntP should include methods, procedures and controls for software integration, and for combined hardware/software integration, and, when multiple vendors are involved, systems integration. Integration of design outputs and reports should be described. The SIntP should require documentation describing the software integration tests to be performed, the hardware/software integration tests to be performed, the systems integration, and the expected results of those tests. B.3.1.4.3 Resource Characteristics of the SIntP The resource characteristics that the SIntP should exhibit include methods/tools. Methods/tools refer to a description of the methods, techniques and tools that will be used to accomplish the integration function. The SIntP should require that integration tools be qualified with a degree of rigor and level of detail appropriate to the safety significance of the software which is to be created using the tools. BTP 7.14-24 Draft Revision 6 - August 2015 B.3.1.4.4 Review Guidance for the SIntP The SIntP is not as critical as some of the other plans. It should be checked for the various management, implementation, and resource characteristics shown above, but there is no particular review guidance. The software integration organization is generally the same group as the software developers.
