ivities The software V&V plan describes the V&V implementation tasks that are to be carried out by the applicant/licensee. The acceptance criterion for software V&V implementation is that the tasks in the plans have been carried out in their entirety. Documentation should exist that shows that the V&V tasks have been successfully accomplished for each life cycle activity group. In particular, the documentation should show that the requirements, design, code, integration, and installation design outputs satisfy the appropriate software development functional and process characteristics (as described in Section B.3.3 below). Appendix 7-A Rev. 4 — June 1997 BTP HICB-14-27 Problems identified by the verification effort should be documented, together with any action items required to mitigate or eliminate each problem. A record should be kept of actions taken in response to the action items and the appropriate CM activities should be performed. As part of the software V&V effort, a traceability matrix should be produced. This traceability matrix should clearly show the linkage between each requirement imposed on the software by the system requirements document and system design documents, and one or more requirements in the SRS. The matrix should allow traceability in both directions. It should be organized so that as design, implementation, and validation take place, traceability information can be added for these activities. It should be updated at the completion of each life cycle activity group. The final matrix should permit tracing from the system requirements and design through the software requirements, design, implementation, integration, validation, and installation. The integration V&V activities should demonstrate that all unit and subsystem tests required by the V&V plan were successfully completed. Any anomalies or errors found during the tests should be resolved and documented. Final integration tests should be completed and documented. Reports should be
