specified for resolving discrepancies identified during the verification of each V&V task. Procedures should be specified for selecting test cases, and for software review activities. The plan should describe V&V reporting requirements. It should require that reports document all V&V activities, including the personnel conducting the activities, procedures and results. This includes review documentation requirements, evaluation criteria, error reporting, and anomaly resolution procedures. V&V reports should summarize the positive practices and findings as well as negative practices and findings. The reports should summarize the actions performed and the methods and tools used. The plan should include a description of all required testing plans, specifications, procedures and cases. This includes unit testing, integration (subsystem) testing, system validation testing, installation (acceptance) testing, and the regression testing of modifications. The description should also include test documentation requirements, readiness and evaluation criteria, error reporting, and anomaly resolution procedures. Testing documentation should include test item descriptions, test data, test logs, the identities of testers, types of observations, results and acceptability, and actions taken in connection with any deficiencies. Test case documentation should specify expected results and actual results. Reg. Guide 1.170, "Software Test Documentation for Digital Computer Software Used in Safety Systems of Nuclear Power Plants," which endorses IEEE Std 829, "IEEE Standard for Software Test Documentation," describes acceptable methods for documenting test plans, test specifications, test procedures, test cases, and test reports. Reg. Guide 1.171, "Software Unit Testing for Digital Computer Software Used in Safety Rev. 4 — June 1997 Appendix 7-A BTP HICB-14-24 Systems of Nuclear Power Plants," which endorses ANSI/IEEE Std 1008, "IEEE Standard for Software Unit Testing," describes
