15.2.1 Verify the requirements baseline The requirements baseline must be verified to ensure that every requirement can be
traced to a stakeholder need and that the baseline represents a complete set of con-
gruent requirements for the software product. The requirements baseline consists of
the software requirements and interface specifications and the operational models
from which they were derived.
15.2.2 Verify the functional architecture The functional architecture must be verified to ensure that the functional decompo-
sition is noncomplex, and efficiently allocates performance measures among sub-
functions. The top-level functions must be traceable to the software requirements
baseline and operational model. The behavioral models must be verified to accu-
rately express the data processing transactions and control scenarios. The functional
specifications must be evaluated to verify that they accurately comply with the
functional decomposition and express the allocated performance measures.
