DATA ITEM DESCRIPTION | ||
|
||
1. TITLE | ||
|
||
SOFTWARE TEST REPORT (STR) | ||
|
||
2. IDENTIFICATION NUMBER | ||
|
||
DI-IPSC-81440 | ||
|
||
3. DESCRIPTION/PURPOSE | ||
|
||
3.1 Software Test Report | ||
|
||
The Software Test Report (STR) is a record of the qualification testing performed on a Computer Software | ||
Configuration Item (CSCI), a software system or subsystem, or other software-related item. | ||
|
||
3.2 Purpose | ||
|
||
The STR enables the acquirer to assess the testing and its results. | ||
|
||
7. APPLICATION/INTERRELATIONSHIP | ||
|
||
7.1 This Data Item Description (DID) contains the format and content preparation instructions for the data | ||
product generated by specific and discrete task requirements as delineated in the contract. | ||
|
||
7.2 This DID is used when the developer is tasked to analyze and record the results of | ||
CSCI qualification testing, system qualification testing of a software system, or other testing identified in the | ||
contract. | ||
|
||
7.3 Contract Data Requirements List | ||
|
||
The Contract Data Requirements List (CDRL) (DD 1423) should specify whether deliverable data are to be | ||
delivered on paper or electronic media; are to be in a given electronic form (such as ASCII, CALS, or compatible | ||
with a specified word processor or other support software); may be delivered in developer format rather than in | ||
the format specified herein; and may reside in a computer-aided software engineering (CASE) or other | ||
automated tool rather than in the form of a traditional document. | ||
|
||
7.4 This DID supersedes DI-MCCR-80017A, DI-IPSC-80698, and DI-MCCR-80311. | ||
|
||
10. PREPARATION INSTRUCTIONS | ||
|
||
10.1 General instructions | ||
|
||
a. Automated techniques. Use of automated techniques is encouraged. The term "document" in this DID | ||
means a collection of data regardless of its medium. | ||
|
||
b. Alternate presentation styles. Diagrams, tables, matrices, and other presentation styles are acceptable | ||
substitutes for text when data required by this DID can be made more readable using these styles. | ||
|
||
c. Title page or identifier. The document shall include a title page containing, as applicable: | ||
document number; volume number; version/revision indicator; security markings or other | ||
restrictions on the handling of the document; date; document title; name, abbreviation, and | ||
any other identifier for the system, subsystem, or item to which the document applies; | ||
contract number; CDRL item number; organization for which the document has been | ||
prepared; name and address of the preparing organization; and distribution statement. | ||
For data in a database or other alternative form, this information shall be included on | ||
external and internal labels or by equivalent identification methods. | ||
|
||
d. Table of contents. The document shall contain a table of contents providing the number, | ||
title, and page number of each titled paragraph, figure, table, and appendix. For data in | ||
a database or other alternative form, this information shall consist of an internal or external | ||
table of contents containing pointers to, or instructions for accessing, each paragraph, | ||
figure, table, and appendix or their equivalents. | ||
|
||
e. Page numbering/labeling. Each page shall contain a unique page number and display the | ||
document number, including version, volume, and date, as applicable. For data in a | ||
database or other alternative form, files, screens, or other entities shall be assigned | ||
names or numbers in such a way that desired data can be indexed and accessed. | ||
|
||
f. Response to tailoring instructions. If a paragraph is tailored out of this DID, the resulting | ||
document shall contain the corresponding paragraph number and title, followed by "This | ||
paragraph has been tailored out." For data in a database or other alternative form, this | ||
representation need occur only in the table of contents or equivalent. | ||
|
||
g. Multiple paragraphs and subparagraphs. Any section, paragraph, or subparagraph in this | ||
DID may be written as multiple paragraphs or subparagraphs to enhance readability. | ||
|
||
h. Standard data descriptions. If a data description required by this DID has been published | ||
in a standard data element dictionary specified in the contract, reference to an entry in | ||
that dictionary is preferred over including the description itself. | ||
|
||
i. Substitution of existing documents. Commercial or other existing documents may be | ||
substituted for all or part of the document if they contain the required data. | ||
|
||
10.2 Content requirements | ||
|
||
Content requirements begin on the following page. The numbers | ||
shown designate the paragraph numbers to be used in the document. Each such number is | ||
understood to have the prefix "10.2" within this DID. For example, the paragraph numbered 1.1 | ||
is understood to be paragraph 10.2.1.1 within this DID. | ||
|
||
1.0 Scope. | ||
|
||
This section shall be divided into the following paragraphs. | ||
|
||

software to which this document applies, including, as applicable, identification number(s), title(s), | ||
abbreviation(s), version number(s), and release number(s). | ||
|
||
1.2 System overview. | ||
|
||
