and testing. The structural unit specifications must be verified to have adequately 
assimilated the allocated functional unit specifications and provide traceability back 
to the originating functional unit specifications. The conceptual components must 
be verified to ensure that they properly reflect the primary data processing transac-
tions. Structural component specifications must be verified to address the integra-
tive functional and performance characteristics resulting from the assimilation of 
lower-level elements of the structural configuration. The requirements traceability 
within the structural configuration must be confirmed.
