irements and guidance as they apply to development processes for safety system software. RG 1.152, which endorses IEEE Std 7-4.3.2, “IEEE Standard Criteria for Digital Computers in Safety Systems of Nuclear Power Generating Stations,” subject to the provisions and exceptions, provides guidance for complying with requirements for safety systems that use digital computer systems. Clause 5.3.1 of IEEE Std 7-4.3.2 contains guidance on software development. NUREG/CR-6101, Section 3.1.6, “Software Development Plan,” and Section 4.1.6, “Software Development Plan,” contain guidance on SDPs. The SDP describes the plan for technical project development. The SDP should exhibit the management, implementation and resource characteristics listed below. BTP 7.14-20 Revision 6 - August 2016 B.3.1.2.1 Management Characteristics of the SDP The management characteristics that the SDP should exhibit include purpose, organization, oversight, and risks. Purpose involves a description of the objectives of each life cycle activity group and its context within the overall project. Organization describes the software life cycle that will be used in the project. The life cycle should include uniquely identifiable development, verification and support processes with well- defined inputs and outputs. The life cycle model should be documented in the SDP. Oversight involves specifying the strategy for managing the technical development effort. Project priorities should be listed. Required software quality factors should be identified and ordered by importance. A method should be provided to monitor progress against the SDP and to document progress at regular intervals in progress reports. A method should exist to identify any deviations from the SDP in time to take corrective action. Risks involve the identification, assessment and management of project risks. The SDP should describe the method to be used for risk identification, assessment and management, with particular attention to
