PPS Replacement System Verification and Validation Plan (SyVVP) Rev 0 Page 3 of 21
: 1.           Purpose The purpose of this System Verification and Validation Plan (SyVVP) is to establish the goals, processes, and responsibilities required to implement effective system level verification and validation for the Process Protection System (PPS) Replacement Project at Diablo Canyon Power Plant (DCPP). This SyWP provides a plan for specifying, evaluating, controlling, and maintaining the overall design for the PPS replacement at Diablo Canyon Power Plant.
The current Eagle 21 PPS is a digital microprocessor-based system. The proposed PPS replacement consists of the microprocessor-based Tricon Programmable Logic Controller (PLC) and the field programmable gate array (FPGA) based Advanced Logic System (ALS). The microprocessor-based Tricon PLC portion of the platform utilizes software to direct the PLC to perform its intended safety-related functions. The ALS portion of the platform is hardware logic-based and does not utilize software.
1.1          Scope Software used in the Triconex portion of the PPS replacement is Nuclear Safety-Related and requires quality controls to meet SIL 4 as defined in IEEE-1 012-1998 [2.1.2.25]. The Triconex product development process is specifically tailored to development of software used in designing and maintaining programmable logic devices (PLDs). The FPGA-based ALS does not utilize a microprocessor and does not execute software. However, the FPGA is configured using software tools; therefore a quality control procedure must be used in the development of the FPGA.
This SyWP describes activities performed by the three responsible parties: PG&E, Invensys Operations Management (IOM), and Westinghouse/CS Innovations, LLC (CSI). The Triconex portion of the PPS replacement is provided by IOM. The ALS portion is provided by CSI.
Both suppliers have 10 CFR 50 Appendix B QA programs. Respective V&V activities are governed by the Triconex Nuclear Safety-Related Process Protection System Replacement DCPP Software V&V Plan (SVVP) [2.2.2.4], the ALS VV Plan [2.2.2.1], the ALS DCPP Management Plan [2.2.2.2], and the ALS DCPP Test Plan [2.2.2.3]. These plans have been reviewed and accepted by PG&E to ensure that the V&V effort is complete.
This SyVVP implements guidance described in IEEE Standard 1012-1998, Software Verification and Validation Plans [2.1.2.25] as relevant to the PPS Replacement Project.
1.2          Goals PG&E will perform initial Concept phase development activities as described later in this SyVVP. The outputs of this phase will be utilized by the 10 CFR 50 Appendix B suppliers in accordance with their approved procedures to develop, implement, and test the respective systems. The supplier activities and products will be traceable to the PG&E design input documents. The 10 CFR 50 Appendix B suppliers will verify and validate their respective systems to ensure that all safety functions are traced to their requirements and are acceptable per their respective control procedures.
PG&E will review and accept the products of the 10 CFR 50 Appendix B supplier development and implementation V&V activities and will use the results to complete the overall PPS Replacement Project V&V activities. Upon completion of all V&V activities PG&E will issue a final System Verification and Validation Report (SyVVR).

NOTE: The various 10 CFR 50 Appendix B software suppliers and the various regulatory agencies do not use the same terminology for software and software verification and validation. As mentioned in DI&C-ISG-06 Rev. 1 [2.1.1.17], an applicant may have different names for similar documents. Regardless of the titles of the documents submitted, the actual LAR should contain sufficient information to address the criteria discussed in the technical evaluation sections... This procedure does not specify that an approved software supplier meet this particular terminology, only that the intent of this procedure is followed and a high quality software product is generated for plant use.
NOTE 2: If any part of the software life cycle process is contracted to an approved supplier with a 10CFR50 Appendix B program, their SQA processes apply for their product, with PG&E auditing their program, and owner acceptance by PG&E.

This evaluation may include screening or analysis methods to categorize, eliminate, reduce, or mitigate hazards.
I&C Function            The formal specification of the functional behavior of the I&C equipment, as derived from the functional requirements. I&C functions are specified and described in the SRS, as information flow diagrams and data tables, and form the basis for automatic software generation in application software development.
 
PPS Replacement System Verification and Validation Plan (SyVVP) Rev 0 Page 10 of 21 Implementation Phase    Encompasses those activities that are necessary to generate the code from the completed function diagrams or source code and load it onto the processors. This includes documenting the steps and matching specific checksums for identity checking.
Independence            Organization whose personnel maintain independence from a Technical, Managerial, and Financial perspective:
* Technical Independence is defined as personnel who are not involved in the development of the software.
* Managerial Independence is defined as an organization separate from the development and program management organizations. Managerial independence also means that the independent organization selects the segments of the software and the system to analyze and test, choose techniques, defines testing schedule, and selects the specific technical issues and problems to act upon. The independent organization effort must be allowed to submit to program management the testing results, anomalies, and findings without restrictions or adverse pressure, direct or indirect, from the development group.
Financial Independence is defined as an organization that is financially independent from the development organization. This independence prevents situations where independent activities cannot be completed because funds have been diverted or adverse financial pressures or influences have been exerted by the development organization.
Independent Design      A detailed line by line technical verification of a document by a competent Review                  individual other than the preparer. The independence and technical competence of the reviewer is certified by the cognizant technical manager.
This is performed by the design group personnel, is not part of the software verification and validation process, and may also be referred to as Independent Review.
Inspection                Evaluation technique in which intermediate development products are examined in detail by a person or group other than the author to detect technical deficiencies or violations of standards.
Integration Testing      An orderly progression of testing in which software elements, hardware elements or both are combined and tested until the entire system has been integrated. The final set of testing, completed successfully, before the FAT which demonstrates that the system (integrated hardware and software) is ready for FAT.
Integrity Level          The assigned integer value from 0 to 4 that indicates the degree of verification and validation that is applied to the system during the development life cycle, subsequent to an evaluation of a combination of the criticality of the system function to the owner's mission, and the importance and likelihood of a system failure. For larger systems, this level may be applied to specific subsystems or sub-modules.
 
PPS Replacement System Verification and Validation Plan (SyVVP) Rev 0 Page 11 of 21 Interface              A shared boundary across which information is passed.
A Hardware or Software component that connects two or more other components for passing information from one to the other.
Interface Control
* Identification of all functional and physical characteristics relevant to the interfacing of two or more Configuration Items provided by one or more organizations
* Ensuring that proposed changes to these characteristics are evaluated and approved prior to implementation.
Lessons Learned          Lessons learned are guidance that enhance the practitioner's understanding of a process, clarify a process' applicability to a particular application, provide guidance for special cases, highlight issues, or convey supplier advice. The lessons learned come from a variety of sources including, but not limited to, operation experience, experiences in the use of tools and techniques, and published best practices from other organizations.
Malicious Software      Software code that is intended to breakdown or bypass security barriers; or software code that is intended to adversely impact proper system performance or function.
May                      An expression of possibility, a permissive choice to act or not, as distinguished from shall, which is a requirement or action that must be performed.
Measure                  A measure is any quantitative group. Examples of measures are estimated cost, actual cost, ratio of actual to estimated cost, number of defects, defect density, mean time between failures, average length of support call, and number of peer reviews performed.
Peer Review              An examination of a product by the creators' peers to identify defects and areas where changes are needed. It uses the capabilities of independent reviewers, individually or in a group, to identify the improvements needed in a product and to agree on which improvements should be made.
Product Review          An examination of a product to identify errors before the product is formally passed forward in the development process.
Project Manager          Individual responsible to coordinate all aspects of the assigned project(s).
Primary customer interface responsible for coordinating implementation of the project, quality control, customer invoicing and tracking project performance against as- sold estimates.
Quality                  Degree to which a system or configuration item satisfies its requirements.
Quality Management      Consists of the management responsibilities and actions that determine and implement quality policies. It includes obtaining the commitment of the organization, marshaling resources, and ensuring that quality management processes are used and supported effectively.
 
PPS Replacement System Verification and Validation Plan (SyVVP) Rev 0 Page 12 of 21 Release                  A build that will be delivered to the customer. A release may include an integrated set of builds.
Reliability              The degree to, which a software system or component operates without failure. This definition does not consider the consequences of failure, only the existence of failure.
Requirements Phase        Encompasses those activities that are necessary to produce the Software Requirements Specification (SRS) for the project or system. These are the primary software design activities wherein customer requirements are identified and described, and documented in a manner necessary for the specification of function diagrams. The Requirements Specification is the building block for the development, procurement, and maintenance of software and data. As such it is important the Requirements Specification is created considering all the requirements for the software/data.
Requirements              The process of verifying that each specified requirement for a system has Traceability              been implemented into the design, that all aspects of the design have their bases in the specification requirements (forwards and backwards traceability, respectively), and that testing produces results compatible with the specified requirements. The completed steps of the verification process are typically recorded in a Requirements Traceability Matrix (RTM). This usually takes the form of a table that lists requirements and the corresponding sections of documents that indicate how the particular requirement is satisfied.
Requirements              A Requirements Matrix provides a method that can be used to trace and Traceability Matrix (RTM) document that requirements have been met. It provides a complete view of requirements to be tested, and traces specific requirements through all phases of development to verify that the requirement was met. Additionally, the RTM formally documents the process and provides documented evidence that can be useful in auditing that safety requirements and licensing commitments were met.
Review                    An expert analysis and evaluation of the results of a task, a step, or a phase.
It is implemented either globally, or in detail on random samples (e.g., in the case of code inspection).
Safety                    Those properties and characteristics of the software system that directly affect or interact with system safety considerations. The safety characteristic is primarily concerned with the effect of the software on system hazards and the measures taken to control those hazards.
Security                  The ability to prevent unauthorized, undesired, and unsafe intrusions.
Security is a safety concern insofar as such intrusions can affect the safety-related functions of the software.
Shall                      "Shall" denotes a requirement or action that must be performed.
Should                    "Should" denotes a requirement or action that would be beneficial to SUPPLIER or OWNER but is not mandatory within the PPS scope of work.
 
PPS Replacement System Verification and Validation Plan (SyWP) Rev 0 Page 13 of 21 Software                The programs, procedures and any associated documentation pertaining to the operation of a data processing or computing system. Software is an intellectual creation, independent of the medium on which it is stored.
Software includes firmware and logic developed from software based developments systems.
Software Component      Software components are a constituent element of a software system. For application software, this usually means the modules, sub-modules, or I&C functions as described in the SRS. A specific collection of Software Components is assembled to form a System Component.
Software Lifecycle      The period of time that starts when a software product is conceived and ends when the software product is no longer available for routine use. Includes the following phases: preliminary engineering (conceptual), requirements, detailed design, implementation, integration, testing, installation and checkout, operations & maintenance, and sometimes a retirement phase.
Software Requirements  Software requirements are those that must be met by the software to satisfy a contract, standard, specification, procedure, or user need. The set of all software requirements form the basis for subsequent development of the software. Requirements include, but are not limited to: identification of needed software functions, the inputs, processes, and outputs required for each function, the design constraints and attributes of the software, performance requirements, interface requirements, and development standards. Each requirement is defined such that its achievement can be verified and validated objectively.
Software Tool          A computer program used in the development, testing, analysis, -or maintenance of a program or its documentation. Examples include comparator, cross-reference generator, decompiler, driver, editor, flowcharter, monitor, test case generator, and timing analyzer.
Surveillance            A formal review of a process implementation against a documented standard or process. Surveillance is a planned activity that focuses on a project or a functional area.
System                  The hardware and software required for solving a complex task. It consists of several subsystems or components which have different performance characteristics but which are suitable for use together to accomplish the required functions.
System Component        System components are the equivalent of a subsystem that can be used separately and performs a self-contained function. They consist of one or more modules, which are suitable for use together in an overall system. In the documentation, emphasis is placed on functionality, communication relationships, sequences, inputs/outputs and common resources.
System Test              System tests are used to determine whether the specified system characteristics of equipment (behavior on failure, behavior on start-up, testability, etc.) have been implemented. These types of test are performed without regard to the specific I&C function.
 
PPS Replacement System Verification and Validation Plan (SyVVP) Rev 0 Page 14 of 21 Task Iteration          The repeat of a V&V task which occurs as a result of identification of an anomaly, its resolution, and the verification by the V&V team that the resolution is complete.
Test                    Sequence of events designed to verify that a system or configuration item satisfies requirements or to identify differences between expected and actual results.
Test Phase              Encompasses those activities that are necessary during the application software production process to assemble and integrate the complete system, and to perform required testing. These are the primary software design activities wherein system performance is checked and documented to ensure the required functions are correctly and completely implemented.
Timing                  The ability of the software system to achieve its timing objectives within the hardware constraints imposed by the computing system being used.
Traceability            The degree to which each element of one life cycle product can be traced forward to one or more elements of a successor life cycle product, and can be traced backwards to one or more elements of a predecessor life cycle product. Traceability is central to the production of complex systems to ensure all requirements are implemented, checked and tested.
Unit                    Smallest replaceable element in a configuration item also referred to as a configuration unit (CU). For software, a unit is typically a subroutine; for hardware, a unit may be a board that is fabricated as a separate item.
Validation              The evaluation of a product at the end of the development process to ensure the product complies with previously specified software requirements. This process is usually performed by testing. Validation involves evaluating the overall system and software behavior under conditions representative of its intended use.
Verification            The process of determining whether or not the products of a given development phase fulfill the requirements imposed at the start of the phase.
Verification includes detailed review and testing at each phase and determines whether the project is ready to proceed to the next phase.
Verification and        The systematic program of review and testing activities performed through Validation              the software lifecycle to ensure that the software satisfies its intended use and user needs. V&V activities are performed by persons who are different and independent from those who accomplish the design and integration.
Verifiability            The degree to, which a software planning document, implementation process document or design output is stated or provided in such a way as to facilitate the establishment of verification criteria and the performance of analyses, reviews, or tests to determine whether those criteria have been met.
Will                      "Will" means that an action or activity can be assumed to be completed by the subject of the sentence whether the subject is SUPPLIER, OWNER or others.

PPS Replacement System Verification and Validation Plan (SyVVP) Rev 0 Page 3 of 21

1. Purpose The purpose of this System Verification and Validation Plan (SyVVP) is to establish the goals, processes, and responsibilities required to implement effective system level verification and validation for the Process Protection System (PPS) Replacement Project at Diablo Canyon Power Plant (DCPP). This SyWP provides a plan for specifying, evaluating, controlling, and maintaining the overall design for the PPS replacement at Diablo Canyon Power Plant.

The current Eagle 21 PPS is a digital microprocessor-based system. The proposed PPS replacement consists of the microprocessor-based Tricon Programmable Logic Controller (PLC) and the field programmable gate array (FPGA) based Advanced Logic System (ALS). The microprocessor-based Tricon PLC portion of the platform utilizes software to direct the PLC to perform its intended safety-related functions. The ALS portion of the platform is hardware logic-based and does not utilize software.

1.1 Scope Software used in the Triconex portion of the PPS replacement is Nuclear Safety-Related and requires quality controls to meet SIL 4 as defined in IEEE-1 012-1998 [2.1.2.25]. The Triconex product development process is specifically tailored to development of software used in designing and maintaining programmable logic devices (PLDs). The FPGA-based ALS does not utilize a microprocessor and does not execute software. However, the FPGA is configured using software tools; therefore a quality control procedure must be used in the development of the FPGA.

This SyWP describes activities performed by the three responsible parties: PG&E, Invensys Operations Management (IOM), and Westinghouse/CS Innovations, LLC (CSI). The Triconex portion of the PPS replacement is provided by IOM. The ALS portion is provided by CSI.

Both suppliers have 10 CFR 50 Appendix B QA programs. Respective V&V activities are governed by the Triconex Nuclear Safety-Related Process Protection System Replacement DCPP Software V&V Plan (SVVP) [2.2.2.4], the ALS VV Plan [2.2.2.1], the ALS DCPP Management Plan [2.2.2.2], and the ALS DCPP Test Plan [2.2.2.3]. These plans have been reviewed and accepted by PG&E to ensure that the V&V effort is complete.

This SyVVP implements guidance described in IEEE Standard 1012-1998, Software Verification and Validation Plans [2.1.2.25] as relevant to the PPS Replacement Project.

1.2 Goals PG&E will perform initial Concept phase development activities as described later in this SyVVP. The outputs of this phase will be utilized by the 10 CFR 50 Appendix B suppliers in accordance with their approved procedures to develop, implement, and test the respective systems. The supplier activities and products will be traceable to the PG&E design input documents. The 10 CFR 50 Appendix B suppliers will verify and validate their respective systems to ensure that all safety functions are traced to their requirements and are acceptable per their respective control procedures.

PG&E will review and accept the products of the 10 CFR 50 Appendix B supplier development and implementation V&V activities and will use the results to complete the overall PPS Replacement Project V&V activities. Upon completion of all V&V activities PG&E will issue a final System Verification and Validation Report (SyVVR).

Reliability The degree to, which a software system or component operates without failure. This definition does not consider the consequences of failure, only the existence of failure.

Requirements Phase Encompasses those activities that are necessary to produce the Software Requirements Specification (SRS) for the project or system. These are the primary software design activities wherein customer requirements are identified and described, and documented in a manner necessary for the specification of function diagrams. The Requirements Specification is the building block for the development, procurement, and maintenance of software and data. As such it is important the Requirements Specification is created considering all the requirements for the software/data.

Requirements The process of verifying that each specified requirement for a system has Traceability been implemented into the design, that all aspects of the design have their bases in the specification requirements (forwards and backwards traceability, respectively), and that testing produces results compatible with the specified requirements. The completed steps of the verification process are typically recorded in a Requirements Traceability Matrix (RTM). This usually takes the form of a table that lists requirements and the corresponding sections of documents that indicate how the particular requirement is satisfied.

Requirements A Requirements Matrix provides a method that can be used to trace and Traceability Matrix (RTM) document that requirements have been met. It provides a complete view of requirements to be tested, and traces specific requirements through all phases of development to verify that the requirement was met. Additionally, the RTM formally documents the process and provides documented evidence that can be useful in auditing that safety requirements and licensing commitments were met.

Review An expert analysis and evaluation of the results of a task, a step, or a phase.

It is implemented either globally, or in detail on random samples (e.g., in the case of code inspection).

Safety Those properties and characteristics of the software system that directly affect or interact with system safety considerations. The safety characteristic is primarily concerned with the effect of the software on system hazards and the measures taken to control those hazards.

Security The ability to prevent unauthorized, undesired, and unsafe intrusions.

Security is a safety concern insofar as such intrusions can affect the safety-related functions of the software.

Shall "Shall" denotes a requirement or action that must be performed.

  • Approve corrective actions, scope changes and resource allocations.
  • Coordinate the disposition of discrepancy reports generated in the course of verification and validation.

The Engineer of Choice (EoC) Design Change Package Team is responsible for the design change process utilized by DCPP for the design and implementation of modifications to controlled Structures, Systems, and Components. The Engineer of Choice (EoC) Design Change PackageTeam is also responsible for establishing quality goals and objectives for their organization consistent with those of the project.

The PG&E Project Engineering Team conducts and ensures quality-related inter-group coordination for design and engineering between software and hardware design activities. Project engineering is responsible for identifying the processes and corresponding standards and procedures to guide project

PPS Replacement System Verification and Validation Plan (SyVVP) Rev 0 Page 16 of 21 performance. The project engineering team is further responsible for ensuring work activities are performed in compliance with these standards and procedures.

4.2 10 CFR 50 Appendix B Supplier Roles and Responsibilities Detailed roles and responsibilities for each of the 10CFR50 Appendix B suppliers are provided in the respective 10CFR50 Appendix B supplier control procedures listed in Section 2.2.2.

The 10 CFR 50 Appendix B Supplier Project Manager (PM) is responsible for providing direction in implementation of the V&V activities to ensure that they are performed per the respective control procedures listed in Section 2.2.2. The Project manager is responsible for overall project safety in the respective organization.

The 10CFR50 Appendix B supplier produces documentation and is responsible for the performance of the reviews, audits, and inspections as described in the control documents. PG&E will review the documents and products produced and witness testing activities. PG&E will accept the documeents and reports after the 10 CFR 50 Appendix B suppliers resolve anomalies and PG&E comments.

5. V&V Processes The PG&E SyVVP and 10CFR50 Appendix B supplier SVVP describe documents, hardware and software V&V tools, techniques, methods, and operating and test environment to be used in the respective V&V process.

During the Project Initiation and Planning activities the lifecycle documentation needed to support the LAR was identified, and is shown in Figure 5-1. Additional detail regarding each of the illustrated documents will be provided in the System Quality Assurance Plan (SyQAP) and System Verification and Validation Plan (SyWP).

5.1 PG&E V&V Tasks 5.1.1 Concept Phase V&V During the Concept phase, the system architecture is selected, and system requirements are allocated to hardware, software, and user interface components. The outputs of the Concept phase, shown in Figure 5-1 are:

1. Conceptual Design Document (CDD)
2. Functional Requirements Specification (FRS - includes Function Block Diagrams)
3. Interface Requirements Specification (IRS - includes Input/Output List)

Development of concept documentation and allocation of resources was performed for the PPS Replacement Project per PG&E procedure CF2.1D9 [2.2.1.3], which includes verification of the Concept phase documents through a signature process involving all stakeholders. There are no specific V&V products of this phase.

PG&E considers the CDD to be a descriptive document, not a design input document. Taceability by the 10 CFR 50 Appendix B suppliers from the CDD to the FRS and IRS is not required.

5.1.2 Installation and Checkout Phase V&V The Installation and Checkout phase begins after PG&E has reviewed and accepted all development phase documentation and V&V reports, including the 10 CFR 50 Appendix B supplier Software (or System) V&V Report ( SWR), that have been prepared per the control documents listed in Section 2.2.2.

PPS Replacement System Verification and Validation Plan (SyVVP) Rev 0 Page 17 of21 5.1.2.1 Project Integration The 10 CFR 50 Appendix B supplier FAT will verify that the respective systems correctly process all safety-related and non-safety-related analog and discrete inputs and outputs. The FAT will verify that all safety functions specified in the PG&E design documents (FRS and IRS) perform in accordance with specified requirements. The FAT will also verify operation of the non-safety-related Maintenance Workstation (MWS) functions associated with each platform per specified requirements.

However, the 10 CFR 50 Appendix B suppliers will implement their respective systems in different facilities with different physical locations, and without access to external PG&E non-safety-related systems, such as the Plant Process Computer Gateway. Necessarily, the FAT will not include end-to-end tests of functions that involve such dependencies. The completed systems will be assembled in the PG&E Project Integration and Test (PIT) facility for pre-installation staging and checkout of the integrated system.

The ALS processes Reactor Coolant System and Pressurizer Vapor Space temperatures and provides scaled analog 4-20 mA signals corresponding to Engineering Units to the Tricon. The ALS FAT will verify that the ALS processes the temperature signals correctly and produces properly scaled 4-20 mA analog outputs per specified requirements. The Tricon FAT will verify that all safety functions utilizing the 4-20 mA analog signals perform per specified requirements using simulated signals. The SAT will test the integrated PPS replacement system using the transmission of live 4-20 mA analog Reactor Coolant System temperatures from the ALS to the Tricon.

5.1.2.2 Site Acceptance Test The PG&E Site Acceptance Testing (SAT) will test the fully integrated system prior to installation. The SAT does not retest safety functions. All specified safety functions will be tested in the 10 CFR 50 Appendix B supplier FAT. As described above, the SAT will test the transmission of live analog data from the ALS to the Tricon and will also include V&V of the non-safety-related communication interfaces with the MWS and external systems as specified in the IRS.

PPS Replacement System Verification and Validation Plan (SyVVP) Rev 0 Page 20 of 21 5.2 10CFR50 Appendix B Supplier Tasks Respective V&V activities are governed by the Triconex Nuclear Safety-Related Process Protection System Replacement DCPP Software V&V Plan (SWP) [2.2.2.4], the ALS W Plan [2.2.2.1], the ALS DCPP Management Plan [2.2.2.2], and the ALS DCPP Test Plan [2.2.2.3]. These plans have been reviewed and accepted by PG&E to ensure that the V&V effort is complete.

During requirements definition, design and implementation activities, the 10 CFR 50 Appendix B suppliers will issue reports for the results of V&V activities. PG&E will review and accept the reports after comments and any anomalies have been resolved according to the 10 CFR 50 Appendix B supplier procedures.

The 10 CFR 50 Appendix B suppliers will prepare traceability documentation and analyses for the starting from the FRS and IRS and continuing through Factory Acceptance Testing (FAT) per their respective control procedures. The 10 CFR 50 Appendix B suppliers will verify and validate their respective systems to ensure that all safety functions are traced to their requirements and perform per the specified requirements in accordance with the respective control procedures. This process ensures that all safety requirements specified in the FRS and IRS are properly implemented and tested at the FAT.

The 10 CFR 50 Appendix B suppliers will issue a final V&V Report,(SWR) which summarizes all life cycle V&V tasks and the task results. Itwill also summarize the discrepancies and their resolution found during the V&V evaluation. The report will give an assessment of overall software quality and provide any recommendations. The SWR will be prepared per the respective control procedures.

6. V&V Reporting Requirements V&V reporting shall consist of Task Reports, V&V Activity Summary Reports, Anomaly Reports, and the V&V Final Report.
