conditions of the software requirements. Boundary value analysis should be 
performed to ensure that the set of test cases are sufficient to demonstrate that 
software product requirements will be subjected to a sufficient set of tests.
3. 
PDSS process test effort (post-development processes).
 Each of the post-
development processes will require a test and evaluation effort to ensure that the 
process is prepared to support the software product and its customers or users 
upon release. The post-development processes are closely associated with the 
software product architecture.
4. 
Regression testing (requirements baseline).
 During software implementation, 
existing code that has already undergone testing will need to be retested after 
changes have been accomplished, such as functional enhancements, patches, or 
configuration changes. Formal change proposals and technical change requests 
must account for the amount of regression testing that will be necessary to 
address the levels of structural component integration necessitated by proposed 
changes.
