Requirements Should Be BaselinedBut Plan For Change Requirements will Change, but Baselines put You in Control. • Requirements Baselines: • Insure a Common Understanding Within the Development Group of the “Current” Set of Requirements (What’s In, What’s Not) • Provide a Basis for Evaluating the Effects and Impacts of Proposed Changes • Allows Grouping Changes in Blocks to Minimize Rework Always Include Changes in Budget and Schedule Planning.
Baselines are Needed for Each Product Release 1st Capability 2nd Capability 3rd Capability
Requirements Characteristics • Unambiguous - Every Requirement Has Only One Interpretation • Complete - Includes All Significant Requirements, Functions, Behaviors, Performance, Constraints, and Interfaces • Verifiable - Cost-Effective Means Exists for People or Machines to Check Product Against Requirements • Consistent - Requirements Not in Conflict • Modifiable - Requirements Are Easy to Change Completely and Consistently • Correct - No Errors Exist That Will Affect Design • Traceable - Origin of Requirement is Clear • Design Free - Design Is Left to the Designer
Software Requirement Issues Issues Attributes Performance Constraints Usability Interfaces Reliability Supportability Bits Processed, Speed, Response Time Standards, Data Format, Language Ease of Use, Consistency, Ease of Training, Input Preparation, Output Interpretation Software, Hardware, People Frequency of Failure, Severity of Failure, Recovery From Failure Ease of Upgrade, Ease of Repair, Instability, Expandability, Testability, Flexibility, Portability
Example of Design-Dependent andDesign-Free Requirement • Design-Dependent: The Flight Control System Shall Be Quad-Redundant for Safety Problem - Redundancy Was Dictated without Getting to Fundamental Requirement • Design-Free: No Combinations of Failures within the FLCS, with a Probability of Occurrence Greater Than 10 to 7, Shall Result in a Category 1 Hazard. The Redundancy Level Will Be Determined by Analysis and Trades of Different Redundancy Architectures, MTBFs of Hardware and Allocation of Functions to Hardware and Software During the Design Phase
Example of a Verifiable Requirement • Non-Verifiable: A Single Failure (of the FLCS) Shall Result in Minimal Transients • Verifiable: A Single Failure Shall Result in Less Than +/- 1g’s Normal or Lateral Axis
Example of Requirements Allocation,Traceability and Decomposition • Parent Requirement from Weapon System Spec: • WSS102004: The Weapon System Shall Be Designed to Promote Operational Personnel Safety • One Child Requirement to WSS102004 in Air Vehicle Spec: • AVE31550: The Diagnostic Function Shall Provide Built-in Logic to Promote Personnel Safety for all Tests • One Child Requirement to AVE31550 in Vehicle Management System Spec: • VMS01380: Initiated Built-in Test (IBIT) Shall Not Be Enabled Until Multiple Interlocks are Satisfied • One Child Requirement to VMS01380 in Flight Control System SW Spec: • FLC13790: FLCS Software Shall Only Allow IBIT to Be Engaged When Weight is on Wheels and Wheel Gear Tachs < x Knots and Engine Thrust is Below Flight Idle and IBIT Engaged Switch is Selected
The Need for Automated Requirements Management • System Engineers Need It • Large numbers of requirements (along with the availability of computer hardware and software tools) makes computer automation very beneficial • Answering customer requirement queries will be easier and more defendable • Communication within the design team will be enhanced • Some Programs Require It (Customer Mandate) • Benefits of ARM Approach • Technical Performance Measures tracking/management • Rapid response for management and analysis • Standard views, reports, analyses available • Multi-user access with configuration controls • Complete traceability of requirements - Reqts hierarchies - Reqts histories - Open Issues - Allocation to design elemnets - Verification methods - Response organizations
Need and Enabling Technologies Pointto Implementing Automated Requirements Tracking Requirements Automation Changing Requirements Specialization in Workplace Distributed Processing Hardware Requirements Tracking Software Distributed Data Entry With Update Under Configuration Control Will Allow Specialists From Different Disciplines to Work Efficiently as a Team.
Reasons to Use a Requirements Tracking Tool • Customer Requests for Changing Requirements CanBe Fully, Accurately, and Efficiently Addressed (Allow for Reasonable Requirements Evolution) • Enhances Internal Communications within and AcrossManagement, Engineering, Production and Support Functions • Provides “Corporate Memory” for Future Projects • F-22 Customer Required Top-Down and Bottom-UpRequirements Tracking Capability to Better Address Cost Issues
