谁负责SAS？

谁负责SAS？

——DO-178B/ED-12B学习笔记之十三

 

Software Accomplishment Summary (SAS)是第20项软件生存周期数据。那么该由谁来负责这项数据呢？

 

在DO-178B/ED-12B的附件A中，只有在表A—10中出现了SAS：

TABLE A-10: CERTIFICATION LIAISON PROCESS

 

在该表下面有如下注释：

NOTE: The plan for software aspects of certification and the software Configuration Index are outputs to other processes. They are included in this table to show completion of the certification liaison process objectives

[参考译文] 注：软件合格审定计划和软件配置索引是其他过程的输出。在上表中包含它们是为了使合格审定联络过程目标更完整。

 

由此可见，SAS是审定联络过程的输出。

 

WIKIPEDIA(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DO-178B)中的DO-178B有如下描述：

Output documents from the quality assurance process:

• Software quality assurance records (SQAR)
• Software conformity review (SCR)
• Software accomplishment summary (SAS)

This process performs reviews and audits to show compliance with DO-178B. The interface to the certification authority is also handled by the quality assurance process.

上面说明SAS是SQA过程的输出文件之一，并说明SQA过程处理与审定当局的接口。

 

IBM Software Rational的一份材料也有相似的说明：

The QA process in DO-178B requires reviews and audits to demonstrate compliance. Key output documents in this process include software quality assurance records (SQARs), a software conformity review (SCR) and a software accomplishment summary (SAS).

需要注意的是，A—10中关于SAS的目标没有独立性要求。因此，如果SQA负责SAS没有违背DO-178B/ED-12B的要求。由此可以推测，SAS也可以由申请方组织中的其他人员来负责。
