Software Assurance Standard Highlights Provides a software life cycle perspective for acquirer and

provider software assurance requirements

Includes tailoring guidelines for the level of softwareassurance to apply based on a 4-step Software AssuranceClassification Assessment process

Provides a Software Assurance Classification Report

template for recording results from the assessment process

Includes a Requirements Compliance Matrix

Successfully mapped to NPR 7150.2 and CMMI PPQA

Next Steps

Use the Software Assurance Classification Assessment

to characterize all NASA software

Provide OSMA with copies of all Software AssuranceClassification Reports

Complete the Requirements Compliance Matrix for

each software project/system

Complete executive changes/minor updates to the SAStandard upon approval of NPR 7150.2

Proceed with updates to the NASA Software Assurance

Guidebook
