Scope and Methodology
The NPR 7150.2 standard defines comprehensive requirements for software engineering processes in space systems to ensure that all aspects of software development are conducted with the highest level of rigor and discipline.
The scope of our testing services includes a thorough review of your software engineering processes, ensuring they comply with the NPR 7150.2 requirements. This involves evaluating the entire lifecycle of software development from initial concept through final deployment and sustainment. Our team conducts detailed reviews of each phase to identify potential risks and provide recommendations for mitigation.
We employ a variety of methodologies to ensure thorough testing and validation. These include static code analysis, dynamic analysis, and model-based systems engineering (MBSE). Static code analysis tools are used to detect coding errors before they are deployed into production environments. Dynamic analysis tools provide real-time monitoring during software execution, ensuring that the software behaves as expected under all operating conditions.
In addition to these technical methodologies, we also conduct peer reviews and independent verification and validation (IV&V) processes. Peer reviews involve subject matter experts from outside your organization reviewing your software engineering processes to identify potential issues early on. IV&V involves a third party conducting rigorous testing of your software to ensure that it meets all required specifications.
