STANDARDS AEROKEL can adapt to your organization's current software engineering standards if necessary.  For those who need to update their standards we can recommend a subset of the IEEE Software Engineering standards, tailored for your specific requirements. We also have experience with MIL-STD-2167A and MIL-STD-1521 used on projects for the U. S. military. Benefits of implementing software engineering standards include: Increasing software quality Reducing project cost and schedule Improving manageability of software projects Overview of most commonly used standards for each phase of the software development life cycle: Concept    SSP - Software Safety Plan    SPMP - Software Project Management Plan    SVVP - Software Verification & Validation Plan Requirements Analysis    SRS - Software Requirements Specification    TP - Test Plan Design    SDD - Software Design Description    TDS - Test Design Specification Implementation    TCS - Test Case Specification    TPS - Test Procedure Specification    TITR - Test Item Transmittal Report Testing    TLR - Test Log Report    TSR - Test Summary Report Installation and Checkout    SVVR - Software Verification & Validation Report For small projects a single document combining elements from the SRS and SDD may be adequate. Some organizations prefer to use a separate Interface Control Document (ICD) for interfaces between software and hardware groups. Larger projects may require full compliance with all IEEE standards, including those not listed above.
