Software Development Life Cycle (SDLC)

REQUIREMENT DOCUMENTS

The hardware and software requirements documents (HRD and SRD) contain critical requirements information including Data Requirements, Process Requirements, Operational Requirements, and the Requirements Traceability Matrix (RTM).

DESIGN DOCUMENTS

The hardware and software design documents (HDD and SDD) contain critical information needed to build and integrate the hardware components, code and integrate the software modules, and interconnect the hardware and software segments.
