tification, assessment and management, with particular attention to risks that have the potential for compromising safety. The SDP should describe the method to be used to identify and assess the risk factors associated with product engineering, development environment and program constraints. It should describe the mechanisms for tracking the risk factors and implementing contingency plans. Risk factors that should be included include system risks, mechanical/electrical hardware integration, risks due to size and complexity of the product, the use of pre-developed software, cost and schedule, technological risk, and risks from program interfaces (maintenance, user, associate contractors, subcontractors, etc.). The SDP should identify key design and implementation issues, and the preliminary studies, simulation modeling, and prototyping required to resolve them. B.3.1.2.2 Implementation Characteristics of the SDP The implementation characteristics that the SDP should exhibit include measurement, procedures, and schedule. Measurement concerns a set of indicators used to determine the success or failure of the technical aspects of the development process and the resulting design outputs. The SDP should require data associated with the technical development of the design outputs to be collected and analyzed to determine software quality. The error rate found during the development phases should be measured, recorded, analyzed and reported. BTP 7.14-19 Draft Revision 6 - August 2015 Procedures refer to the division of each life cycle activity into well-defined tasks. The inputs to each activity and each task should be provided, and the sources of those inputs should be identified. The conditions that must be satisfied before each activity can begin should be described. The outputs from each activity and each task should be provided, and the destination of those outputs should be identified. The SDP should include a review at the end of each life cycle activity.
