Software Acceptance Testing 
3. 
Reevaluate the software architecture.
 The SWE-IPT should reevaluate the soft-
ware architecture to understand the impact of software problems and assess 
potential solutions. The resolution of deficiencies at this late juncture in the soft-
ware development effort may not be possible. Therefore, the SWE-IPT should 
prepare software deviation or waivers, as appropriate, to address the resolution 
of unresolved problem reports.
4. 
Support the software configuration audits.
 Representatives of the SWE-IPT 
should participate in the conduct of software FCAs and PCAs.
5. 
Prepare the final architecture technical data package.
 The SWE-IPT should 
prepare the updated architecture artifacts to support the software configuration 
audits. The definitive architecture data package should be accompanied with a 
list of all authorized changes assimilated into the software architecture and its 
artifacts (documentation, drawings, models, etc.).
