Requirements Development The purpose of Requirements Development is to produce and analyze customer, product, and product-component requirements.

Requirements Development There are 3 specific goals in the process area - Develop Customer Requirements(SG1) Develop Product Requirements (SG2) Analyze and Validate Requirements(SG3)

Requirements Development Elicit Needs SP 1.1 Transform Stakeholder Needs into Customer Requirements SP 1.2 Requirements SG1: Develop Customer Requirements

Requirements Development Establish Product & Product Component Requirements SP 2.1 Allocate Product Component Requirements 2.2 Allocated Requirements Identify Interface Requirements SP 2.3 SG2: Develop Product Requirements

Requirements Development Establish Operational Concepts and Scenarios SP 3.1 Establish a Definition of Required Functionality & Quality Atttributes 3.2 Analyze Requirements 3.3 Validate Requirements 3.5 Analyze Requirements to achieve Balance 3.4 SG3: Analyze and Validate Requirements

Technical Solution

Technical Solution The purpose of Technical Solution is to design, develop, and implement solutions to requirements. Solutions, designs, and implementations encompass products, product components, and product-related life-cycle processes either singly or in combinations as appropriate.

There are 3 specific goals in the process area - Technical Solution There are 3 specific goals in the process area - Select Product-Component Solutions(SG1) Develop the Design(SG2) Implement the Product Design(SG3)

Technical Solution SG1: Select Product-Component Solutions Develop Alternative Solutions & Selection Criteria SP 1.1 Select Product Component Solutions SP 1.2 SG1: Select Product-Component Solutions

? Technical Solution SG2: Develop the Design Design the Product or Product Component SP 2.1 Establish a Technical Data Package 2.2 Design Interfaces using Criteria SP 2.3 ? Perform Make, Buy, or Reuse Analyses SP 2.4 SG2: Develop the Design

Technical Solution SG3: Implement the Product Design Implement the Design SP 3.1 Develop Product Support Documentation SP 3.2 SG3: Implement the Product Design

Product Integration

Product Integration The purpose of Product Integration is to assemble the product from the product components, ensure that the product, as integrated, functions properly, and deliver the product. This process area addresses the integration of product components into more complex product components or into complete products.

There are 3 specific goals in the process area - Product Integration There are 3 specific goals in the process area - Prepare for Product Integration(SG1) Ensure Interface Compatibility(SG2) SG 3 Assemble Product Components and Deliver the Product (SG3)

Product Integration SG1: Prepare for Product Integration Establish an Integration Strategy SP 1.1 Establish the Product Integration Environment SP 1.2 Establish Product Integration Procedures and Criteria SP 1.3 SG1: Prepare for Product Integration

Product Integration SG2: Ensure Interface Compatibility Review Interface Descriptions for Completeness SP 2.1 Manage Interfaces 2.2 SG2: Ensure Interface Compatibility

Product Integration Confirm Readiness of Product Components for Integration SP 3.1 Assemble Product Components 3.2 Evaluate Assembled Product Components 3.3 Package and Deliver the Product or Product Component 3.4 SG3: Assemble Product Components and Deliver the Product

Verification

Verification The purpose of Verification is to ensure that selected work products meet their specified requirements. Verification includes verification of the product and intermediate work products against all selected requirements, including customer, product, and product component requirements The Verification process area involves the following: verification preparation, verification performance, and identification of corrective action.

There are 3 specific goals in the process area - Verification There are 3 specific goals in the process area - Prepare for Verification(SG1) Perform Peer Reviews(SG2) Verify Selected Work Products (SG3)

Verification SG1: Prepare for Verification SP Select Work Products for Verification SP 1.1 Establish the Verification Environment SP 1.2 Establish Verification Procedures and Criteria SP 1.3 QC Plan SG1: Prepare for Verification

Verification SG2: Perform Peer Reviews SP Prepare for Peer Reviews 2.1 Plan Conduct Peer Reviews SP 2.2 Analyze Peer Review Data SP 2.3 SG2: Perform Peer Reviews

Verification SG3: Verify Selected Work Products SP Perform Verification SP 3.1 Analyze Verification Results SP 3.2 Test Reports SG3: Verify Selected Work Products

Validation

Validation The purpose of Validation is to demonstrate that a product or product component fulfills its intended use when placed in its intended environment. Validation demonstrates that the product, as provided, will fulfill its intended use; whereas, verification addresses whether the work product properly reflects the specified requirements. In other words, verification ensures that “you built it right”; whereas, validation ensures that “you built the right thing.” Validation activities use approaches similar to verification (e.g., test, analysis, inspection, demonstration, simulation).

There are 2 specific goals in the process area - Validation There are 2 specific goals in the process area - Prepare for Validation(SG1) Validate Product or Product Components(SG2)

Validation SG1: Prepare for Validation Select Products for Validation SP 1.1 Establish the Validation Environment SP 1.2 Define Validation Procedures and Criteria SP 1.3 SG1: Prepare for Validation

Validation SG2: Validate Product or Product Components Perform Validation SP 2.1 Analyze Validation Results SP 2.2 SG2: Validate Product or Product Components
