Content:
puter 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 acceptable methods for performing unit tests. Resource Characteristics The resource characteristics that the software V&V plan should exhibit include methods/tools and standards. Methods/tools requires a description of the methods, equipment, instrumentation and tools used to carry out each V&V task. Test methods should be specified for unit, integration, validation, installation and regression testing. The plan should specify a process for selecting tools. The hardware and software environment within which the V&V tools are to be applied and any necessary controls should be described. Standards requires a list of the international, national, industry and company standards and guidelines to be followed by the V&V organization. k. Software Configuration Management Plan The software configuration management (CM) plan should exhibit the management, implementation and resource characteristics listed below. Reg. Guide 1.169, "Configuration Management Plans for Digital Computer Software Used in Safety Systems of Nuclear Power Plants," which endorses IEEE Std. 828, "IEEE Standard for Software Configuration Management Plans," provides an acceptable organization for this plan. It is acceptable for the software configuration management plan to be included in a more general system configuration management plan if the required content exists. Management Characteristics The management characteristics that the software CM plan should exhibit include purpose, organization, and responsibilities. Purpose requires a definition of the purpose and scope of the software CM activities. The plan should list the general functions the software CM organization will be expected to perform. Organization requires a description of the software CM organization. The plan should describe the
