Software Reviews Since Acquisition Reform – The Life-Cycle Perspective

Tuesday
Presentation

   Since the 1994 Department of Defense (DoD) acquisition reform, developers of software systems are tasked with proposing all joint reviews, intended to review evolving software products. More recently DoD agencies also stated that Evolutionary Acquisition and Spiral Development are the preferred strategies.

   These guidelines are dramatically different from the earlier structure of Military Standard (MIL-STD)-1521B formal reviews. While they certainly cut down on the contractor’s review preparation efforts, they also created a very confusing and difficult situation for the overseeing agencies. The development of large-scale systems requires a high level of concurrency, implemented via asynchronous process threads. While there is a strong technical relationship between the products of these threads, at the time of any major, across-the-board review they will be in different development states, represented by inconsistent artifacts with varying levels of maturity. We present a framework for these asynchronous, “snapshot-style” reviews that overseeing authorities can use to gauge their review expectations.
