 Reviews and milestones (software acceptance 
testing stage)
1. 
Functional configuration audit
.
 The software engineering integrated product 
team leads the audit of the software configuration to ensure that requirements 
have been properly implemented, tested, and satisfied. Each requirement in the 
software specifications should be traced to the test results that confirmed the 
suitability of the software implementation. All authorized engineering change 
proposals (ECPs) and software problem reports should be evaluated to ensure 
that they have been resolved and assimilated into the software DDP.
2. 
Physical configuration audit.
 The software engineering integrated product team 
leads the audit of the software configuration to ensure that requirements have 
been properly implemented, tested, and satisfied. The audit should ensure that 
all authorized ECPs and software problem reports have been resolved.
3. 
Deployment readiness review.
 The deployment readiness review should be con-
ducted to review the results of acceptance testing and configuration audits. The 
status of each of the post-development process qualifications must be reviewed 
to ensure their readiness to support software deployment. Once the deployment 
readiness review has been successfully completed, the software product is ready 
to transition to the software deployment stage of its life cycle. The software 
development project should be considered concluded unless an iterative or spiral 
development approach is being employed. A typical agenda for the deployment 
readiness review should address the following topics:
