Grand Systems Verification

摘要

The product system developmentrnprocess follows a three step sequence familiar to allrnsystem engineers: (1) define the problem you are tryingrnto solve, (2) design and manufacture a solution to thatrnproblem, and (3) verify that the solution satisfies thernrequirements that drove it. Therefore, verification is arnprocess for proving that the design of an entity satisfiesrnthe requirements for that entity that were crafted priorrnto the design of the entity. The common mode ofrnverification is to compare an entity with some acceptedrnstandard of excellence. The entity can be a product or arnprocess system or some element or combinationrnthereof. This paper explores the fusion of severalrnconcepts, some new and some old, to build anrnenterprise environment within which all verificationrnwork can be accomplished within the same three steprncontext noted above. This includes product verificationrnbut also enterprise common process verification andrnprogram process verification. The paper also challengesrncommon responsibility assignments for this work.
