NASA Software Process Improvement (SPI)

The NASA Software Process Improvement (SPI) Initiative involves all NASAcenters. Each center is required to have an Engineering Process Group (EPG)and an SPI Plan

The SPI Goal is to advance software engineering practices to effectively meetthe scientific and technological objectives of NASA

Improve cost and schedule predictability, safety, reliability, and quality ofsoftware

SPI has four top-level strategies to meet the initiative goals:

Implement a continuous software process and product improvementprogram across NASA and its contract community

Improve safety, reliability, and quality of software through the integrationof sound software engineering principles and standards

Improve NASAs software engineering practices through research

Attract and retain software engineers and improve their knowledge andskills


6/27


SQ

NASA SPI Plan requires each Center to select either:

SEI SW-CMM - Software Engineering Institute (SEI) Capability Maturity

Model for Software

or SEI CMMI SE/SW/SS - Software Engineering Institute (SEI) Capability

Maturity Model Integration

The Goddard Space Flight Center (GSFC) has selected CMMI-Systems

Engineering/Software/ Supplier Sourcing (SE/SW/SS) continuous

representation

NASA Software Improvement Initiative (SPI)

Continued

So what does this mean to Code 300?


7/27


SQ

NASA GSFC CMMI Initiative

Code 300 is required to meet the requirements of the CMMI Process and

Product Quality Assurance (PPQA) key process area

Code 300 will work with Code 500 as they implement the new process

model

Code 300 will be pre-assessed for PPQA (for JWST, SDO, and ST-5) the

week of August 16, 2004, with target dates as follows for GSFC Software:

CMMI Level 2 by the end of 2005 for FLT SW

CMMI Level 3 by the end of 2006 for FLT SW

CMMI Level 2 by the end of 2006 for ISD and Code 400 Mission SW

CMMI Level 3 by the end of 2007 for ISD and Code 400 Mission SW

So what does this mean to you as SAMs?


8/27


SQ

What will this initiative entail?

Formal SQ Programs based on NASA Agency requirements & standards

New SQ procedures for Assessments, Reporting, Records, and Metrics

SQ Tools (e.g., forms, checklists, and templates)

Training (for the people performing or supporting the process)

Service Order updates to include:

SQA Plan (based on IEEE 730 STD) for each software system

SQ Schedule of planned activities SQ Reports for each assessment

Records of all assessments

SQ Metrics

NASA GSFC CMMI Initiative (cont.)

What about Resource Commitment?

SQEs regularly attend 1-hour meetings with the Software Assurance

Lead to discuss the CMMI initiative and approach

1st SQ Training Module detailing the SQ Program/approach wasconducted on April 6, 2004

All SQEs have developed draft SQA Plans (using a standard template)

SQ Schedules have been developed to coordinate process and productassessments for all projects

To date, new SQ requirements have been met as part of OJT

Going forward, SQEs will be required to broaden their assessment

scope for in-house software efforts!!

Software Safety Standard [NASA-STD-8719.13] Software Safety Guidebook [NASA-GB-8719.13]

NASA Software Engineering Requirements [NPR-7150.x Draft 6/4/04]

NASA HQ with the help of the Software Working Group is in the process of

revising all standards and guidebooks that relate to software. Both the

Software Assurance and Software Safety Standards are in final review. The

Software Safety Guidebook has been released and the Software Assurance

Guidebook is scheduled for updates in FY05.

SW-Assurance Web Site

The Software Assurance web site was developed as a tool for Practitioners (i.e.,

software assurance personnel) http://sw-assurance.gsfc.nasa.gov

This site has been designed to be a one stop resource that provides the latest tools or

assets required to perform software assurance activities and tasks

The site is currently available to NASA GSFC only -- with plans to open it up to all

NASA centers after all of the disciplines (quality, reliability, safety, V&V, and

IV&V) are populated Target date of 08/09/04

Use the sites Feedback Form to provide comments or recommendations
