Identify data processing conditional logic
The operational model should be assessed to determine how process control mech-
anisms need to be addressed by the software product. The process controls that 
are to be exhibited by the software product must be articulated in a manner that

explicitly identifies the conditions to be interrogated, and the follow-on actions to 
be performed when criterion are met.
8.3.5 
Identify data persistence needs
The operational model should be analyzed to identify the data storage and transac-
tion processing requirements. These data persistence requirements should define the 
computational environment characteristics in terms of the hardware and software 
selected for database management functions. These requirements must address the 
database management systems’ (DBMS) reliability metrics. Data persistence and 
storage is an important function for most software applications, and typical DBMSs 
enable transaction rollback and backup capabilities.
