An Assessment of Space Shuttle Flight Software Development Processes FOREWORD Efficient management of the Space Shuttle program dictates that effective control of program activities be established. To provide a basis for management of the program requirements, directives, procedures, interface agreements, and information regarding system capabilities are to be documented, baselined, and subsequently controlled by the proper management level. Program requirements to be controlled by the Director, Space Shuttle (Level I), have been identified and documented in Level I program requirements documentation. Program requirements controlled by the Deputy Director, Space Shuttle Program (Level II), are documented in, attached to, or referenced from Volume I through XVIII of NSTS 07700. This document, which is to be used by members of the Flight Software community, defines the Space Shuttle Program baseline requirements for the Flight Software Verification and Validation process. All Flight Software Verification and Validation activity should be consistent with this plan and the unique items contained herein. The top level policies and requirements for Flight Software Verification and Validation are contained in NSTS 07700, Volume XVIII, Computer Systems and Software Requirements, Book 3, Software Management and Control. All changes to NSTS 08271, Space Shuttle Program Flight Software Verification and Validation Requirements Document, in the form of change requests will be presented to the Shuttle Avionics Software Control Board (SASCB) for disposition. Change authority and management of the implementation strategy for the Verification and Validation requirements and processes in NSTS 08271 are hereby delegated to WA/Space Shuttle Engineering Integration Office via the SASCB. Revisions to this plan will be made as required to incorporate baseline changes to NSTS 07700, Volume XVIII, Book 3. Leonard S. Nicholson Deputy Director, Space Shuttle Program
