RG 1.171, “Software Unit Testing for Digital Computer Software Used in Safety Systems of Nuclear Power Plants,” which endorses ANSI/IEEE Std 1008, “IEEE Standard for Software Unit Testing,” with a few noted exceptions, identifies an acceptable method for satisfying software unit testing requirements. The STP should exhibit the management, implementation and resource characteristics listed below. B.3.1.12.1 Management Characteristics of the STP The management characteristics that the STP should exhibit include purpose, organization, responsibilities, and security.
