This checklist references to IEEE 1016:2009 (IEEE Standard for Information Technology - Systems Design - Software Design Description) as guidance on the adequacy of the Software Design Description (SDD). The project can have a high level system / software architectural design document separately, but Software Design Description focuses on the low level detailed design of the software.
-
SDD Checklist
-
Has the Software Design Description (SDD) or equivalent been established, reviewed and approved?
-
Are the detailed software design defined in other documents like Software Architectural Design (SAD), System / Subsystem Design Document (SSDD)?
-
Are the detailed design descriptions/specifications traceable back to software requirements?
-
Is there a high level system / software architectural design documented?
-
Does each design viewpoint define a set of design elements (entities, attributes, relationships and constraints)?
-
If not defined using a set of design elements, are there any other methods used to define the detailed information of the design viewpoint?
-
Has each design element been complete, consistent, unambiguous, traceable and testable?
-
Process Verification - Are the activities during the design phase in line with the life cycle processes documented in the plans?
