3. Management 3.1 Organization A description of each major element of the project organizational structure and his responsibilities is found in the UFTR QAPP, /3/, along with a discussion of the major roles and responsibilities of each element.

Preparing and maintaining the SQAP is the responsibility of the Project Coordinator. The UFTR Reactor Manager shall approve the SQAP.

Organizationally, verification of the implementation of quality assurance requirements shall be performed by the Project Auditor in accordance with the UFTR "Quality Assurance Program (QAP)", /1/. The Project Coordinator shall ensure that the software and associated documentation have been developed in accordance with the SQAP. The Project Manager ensures project work activities are accomplished in accordance with this Plan.

The Independent Verification and Validation (IV&V) Lead shall be responsible for V&V activities including preparation and review of V&V products and documentation in accordance with the UFTR SVVP, /5/.

3.2 Tasks The sequence of the tasks organized by phase and covered by this plan is listed below. The tasks describe the complete program intended for development and V&V of the Application Software. An explanation of the initiating criteria and outputs for each task is given in the following sections.

3.2.1 Basic Design Phase Tasks A Software Requirements Specification (SRS) shall be prepared for each applicable software product. The SRS shall be developed based on the Functional Requirements Specification (FRS), /12/, the hardware interface description, and other applicable documents. The preparation of the SRS shall be accomplished by the Software Development Group. The document shall be independently reviewed by another member of the Software Development Group and approved by the Software Development Lead. The SRS is described further in Section 4.2.1.

The IV&V Group shall review the SRS. The SRS shall be reviewed each time it is updated. The output from the reviewshall be verification review comments, which shall be documented in the Activity Summary Report for the current V&V phase and transmitted to the development group. The report shall identify all the deficiencies discovered during the review. The IV&V SRS review report shall be independently reviewed by another member of the IV&V Group.

The report shall be approved by the IV&V Lead. The IV&V SRS review shall be performed in accordance with Section 3.5.

A SVVP shall be prepared to describe the methods to be used to verify and validate the software. The SVVP shall be updated and tailored to each of the

Preparedby Reviewed by QA-I, UFTR-QA 1-01 UFTR Name: Name: Revision 0 Copy .1 Date: Initials: Date: Initials: VoL 1 Page 11 of 40 software development phase products as they are produced. The SVVP shall be prepared by a member of the IV&V Group and independently reviewed by another member of the group. The plan shall be approved by the IV&V Lead and by the Quality Assurance Project Auditor. The SVVP is described further in Section 4.2.4.

A Software Verification and Validation Plan Review (SVVPR) shall be performed after the initial SVVP is produced. Subsequent reviews shall occur if needed as the IV&V work progresses. The output of this task will be updates to the SVVP. The SVVPR shall be prepared by the reviewers and shall be approved by the IV&V Lead. The input to the SVVPR shall be the SVVP. The SVVPR is further described in Section 4.2.4.

3.2.2 Detailed Design Phase Tasks A Software Design Description (SDD) shall be prepared as a product of the design process. The TXS Application Software SDD consists of the complete set of function diagrams developed using the FunBase tool. The input for the TXS Application Software SDD is the TXS Application Software SRS. Since GSM and QDS Application Software are primarily composed of individual graphical dialogue screens and scripts, an SDD is not required. All necessary information for documenting these software products shall be included in the corresponding GSM code documents. The TXS Application Software SDD is discussed further in Section 4.2.2.

The IV&V Group shall review the TXS Application Software SDD. The SDD shall be reviewed each time it is updated. The output from the review shall be verification review comments, which shall be documented in the Activity Summary Report for the current V&V phase and transmitted to the development group. The report shall identify all the deficiencies discovered during the review. The review process may require several iterations. The IV&V SDD review report shall be independently reviewed by another member of the IV&V Group. The report shall be approved by the IV&V Lead. The IV&V SDD review shall be performed in accordance with Section 3.5.

A software safety analysis is performed in accordance with UFTR "Software Safety Plan (SSP)" /6/.

For the TXS Application Software, the code is generated by the TXS object-oriented automated code generation tool (SPACE). As such, the Software Development Group does not create code. The use of the automatic code generator eliminates a potential source of errors by eliminating the human interface between I&C function development and code generation. The TXS Application Software SDD logic diagrams are manually entered into the SPACE function diagrams. The automatic generation of code from the SPACE function diagrams eliminates the need for the manual creation of code which removes the potential for human error.

For the TXS GSM and QDS Application Software, the code is generated using a combination of manually created scripts and Dialogue Screens, which are created by the Qt Designer tool utilizing special GSM and QDS libraries.

The IV&V Group shall perform a Software Implementation Review. This shall be the V&V review of the TXS Application Software Code Document. The Code Document shall be reviewed each time it is updated. The output from the review shall be verification review comments, which shall be documented in the Activity Summary Report for the current V&V phase and transmitted to the development group. The report shall identify all the deficiencies discovered during the review. The review process may require several iterations. The IV&V Software Implementation review report shall be independently reviewed by another member of the IV&V Group. The report shall be approved by the IV&V Lead. The IV&V implementation review shall be performed in accordance with Section 3.5.

A Source Code Review (SCR) will not be performed because the software safety coding analysis is done through the use of software tools. The TXS software tool SPACE has been reviewed and accepted by the NRC as stated in the NRC SER, /18/, and the TXS Topical Report, /17/.

The correctness of the TXS Application Software in the course of specific projects is ensured by software simulation testing either as an engineering debugging activity or as a formal validation testing with a NRC approved test tool as described in Section 3.2.3.

3.2.3 Testing Phase Tasks Application Software integration and functional testing can be performed with an NRC approved simulation test tool to satisfy IEEE Std 1012-1998 validation requirements. Validation testing in a simulation environment can be one of the layers of validation testing that is used to ensure Application Software quality. Testing in the simulation environment with a NRC approved simulation tool can serve as module or unit testing (i.e., Function Diagram or Function Diagram Group testing). It can also serve as integration testing of the TXS Application Software (i.e., testing of the Application Software for all TXS modules working together) within the limitations of simulation. Additional testing is performed as part of the Factory Acceptance Testing (FAT) to address the limitations of simulation testing. If IV&V performs SIVAT testing then the Software Development Group does not need to perform SIVAT testing as a part of the design process.

Each module shall be described separately, with all interfaces and connections to other modules; therefore, each module can be tested and changed independently from other modules.

The logic structure of the TXS Application Software SDD in general and the module descriptions follow the structure of the TXS FunBase database. The Funbase tool offers a graphical user-interface, in which the functions can be designed according to the specification in the SRS. The logic structure of the SDD description in general and the module description in the SDD detail shall follow the structure of the used FunBase database.

The SPACE function diagrams shall have the same logical structure as the diagrams shown in the TXS Application Software SDD. They shall contain information about setpoints, time-delays, and the complete information about the interface as described in the TXS Application Software SDD. For each module a SPACE function diagram shall be specified. The SPACE tool creates a project database, in which all information about the safety functions, the function-specific setpoints, inputs and outputs is stored. The resulting function diagrams are a graphical interpretation of the safety system. The SPACE database is the basis for the automatic code-generation.

5.3 Coding Standards The coding standards for the SRS are based on the description of functions in the FRS. Codes for signals, transmitters and actuators are described in interface lists and the UFTR "ID Coding Concept," /13/.

Preparedby Reviewed by QA-1, UFTR-QA 1-01 UF/NRE UFTR Name: Name: Revision 0 Copy I Date: Initials: Date: Initials: Vol. 1 Page20 of 40 The TXS Application Software SDD is documented in a way which enables unique identification of ID-Codes for transmitters, signals, actuators and annunciators. The safety functions, conditioning and online validation of input signals, actuation and annunciation is documented in uniquely identified modules. Each module is described separately, with all interfaces and connections to other modules; therefore each module can be tested and changed independently from other modules.

The source code for the safety function is created by the TXS code generators.

These are qualified TXS tools, which generate one source code file for each specified function diagram. Each source code file contains information about the respective function diagram, date and time of creation. The created source code files are not to be modified manually. They are subject to the rules described in the UFTR SCMP, /4/. The source code for the safety function is created by the TXS code generators.

For the TXS GSM and QDS Application Software, the code is generated using a combination of manually created scripts and Dialogue Screens, which are created by the Qt Designer tool utilizing special GSM and QDS libraries.

5.4 Commentary Standards The SDD addressed in Section 4.2.2 contains commentary in the form of descriptions of the software functions developed using the TXS SPACE tools. Because the actual software code is generated using the qualified TXS code generators, as described in Section 5.3, it is not required to provide commentary in the actual generated code. The TXS SPACE tools use qualified function blocks for code development. These function blocks and their functionality are sufficiently described in the TXS function block manual.

5.5 Testing Standards and Practices Testing Standards and practices for all the TXS projects shall be defined in the UFTR SVVP, /5/.

5.6 Software Quality Assurance Product and Process Metrics Software quality metrics shall be used throughout the Software Life Cycle to assess the effectiveness of the SQAP. Software and design errors shall be recorded as "Open Items" during each phase of development. These items shall be tracked and trended to determine the progress in eliminating the errors present in the software and design.

Software metrics are developed from Open Item and Open Item Report Form to locate error prone areas of the code, design weaknesses, and testing flaws, etc. These reports include data that is used for trending which may include:

  • Source of the defect (coding error, requirements deficiency, etc.)
