Delivery Process: ENG.6 Software construction
The purpose of the Software construction process is to produce verified software units that properly reflect the software design.

Activity diagram: ENG.6 Software construction Assess Generic Practices Capability Level 5 Assess Generic Practices Capability Level 4 Assess Generic Practices Capability Levels 1,2 and 3 ENG.6.BP1: Define a unit verification strategy. ENG.6.BP2: Analyze software units. ENG.6.BP3: Prioritize and categorize software units. ENG.6.BP4: Develop software units. ENG.6.BP5: Develop unit verification criteria. ENG.6.BP6: Verify software units. ENG.6.BP7: Record the results of unit verification. ENG.6.BP8: Ensure consistency and bilateral traceability of software detailed design to software units. ENG.6.BP9: Ensure consistency and bilateral traceability of software requirements to software units. ENG.6.BP10: Ensure consistency and bilateral traceability of software units to test specification for software units.

As a result of successful implementation of this process:

ENG 6.1 a unit verification strategy is developed for software units consistent with the software design

ENG 6.2 software units defined by the software design are analyzed for correctness and testability

ENG 6.3 software units defined by the software design are produced

ENG 6.4 software units are verified according to the unit verification strategy

ENG 6.5 results of unit verification are recorded

ENG 6.6 consistency and bilateral traceability are established between software detailed design and software units

NOTE: For software and system test documentation, the IEEE-Standard 829- 2008 might be used.




Key Considerations
NOTE 1: Analysis of software units will include prioritization and categorization of software units.
