Software Implementation
a.
 
Software development folder audit
. The audit evaluates the software unit 
detailed design against the physical unit specification to ensure that all 
of the allocated requirements have been addressed by the software unit 
design. Audits of software development folders must ensure that the soft-
ware unit programmatic design and source code comply with established 
software design and coding standards.
b.
 
Acceptance test audit
. This audit evaluates the traceability of each 
test case and procedure to the software specification requirements it is 
supposed to validate. A software test may affect more than one of the 
requirement specifications and this should be properly reflected in the 
requirements traceability matrix.
c.
 
Computing environment readiness audit
. This audit evaluates the readi-
ness of the computing environment to participate in software dry-run 
testing. The computing environment is an important element of the soft-
ware architecture and the software product cannot be tested properly if 
the computing environment is not available.
d.
 
Corrective action audit
. This audit traces each approved software engi-
neering request to an approved architectural corrective action plan. 
The corrective action audit must ensure that the corrective action was 
properly assimilated into the software architecture and reflected in the 
affected documentation within the technical data package. The resulting 
software implementation documentation must be inspected to ensure that 
the architectural corrective action was properly incorporated.
