NASA-STD-8739.9, NASA TECHNICAL STANDARD: SOFTWARE FORMAL INSPECTIONS STANDARD (17-JUN-2013)

NASA-STD-8739.9, NASA TECHNICAL STANDARD: SOFTWARE FORMAL INSPECTIONS STANDARD (17-JUN-2013)., The purpose of this Standard is to define the requirements for a software inspection process aimed at detecting and eliminating defects as early as possible in the software life cycle. This process can be used for any documented product, however, this Standard focuses on its use for software products—i.e., software code, plans, manuals, etc. The process provides for the collection and analysis of inspection data to improve the inspection process as well as the quality of the software. This Standard provides a core set of requirements that are applicable whenever formal inspections are required. NASA-GB-A302, Software Formal Inspections Guidebook, provides additional information on approaches for implementing a software formal inspection process. The implementation and approach to meeting these requirements will vary to reflect the system to which they are applied.
