NITC Team activities in this category include, but are not limited to the following activities:
  • Evaluate concept documentation to include Functional Requirements Documents, Feasibility Studies, Systems Design Documentation, and any other such documents
  • Conduct software traceability analyses; to ensure the systems requirements specifications trace to the concept documentation and are consistent, accurate, and complete.
  • Evaluate software requirements to determine correctness, consistency, completeness, accuracy, readability, and testability. This activity includes an assessment of how well the systems requirements specification satisfies the software system objectives.
  • Evaluate systems requirement specifications with hardware, user, operator, and software interface requirements documentation for correctness, consistency, accuracy, and readability.
  • Evaluate system test and acceptance test plans.
