5.10 CSCI/HWCI integration and testing.

The developer shall participate in CSCI/HWCI integration and testing activities in accordance with the following requirements.

Note 1: CSCI/HWCI integration and testing means integrating CSCIs with interfacing HWCIs and CSCIs, testing the resulting groupings to determine whether they work together as intended, and continuing this process until all CSCIs and HWCIs in the system are integrated and tested. The last stage of this testing is developer-internal system testing.

Note 2: If a system or CSCI is developed in multiple builds, CSCI/HWCI integration and testing may not be complete until the final build. CSCI/HWCI integration and testing in each build should be interpreted to mean integrating the current build of each CSCI with the current build of other CSCIs and HWCIs and testing the results to ensure that the system requirements to be implemented in that build have been met.

5.10.1 Preparing for CSCI/HWCI integration and testing.

The developer shall participate in developing and recording test cases (in terms of inputs, expected results, and evaluation criteria), test procedures, and test data for conducting CSCI/HWCI integration and testing. The test cases shall cover all aspects of the system-wide and system architectural design. The developer shall record software-related information in appropriate software development files (SDFs).

5.10.2 Performing CSCI/HWCI integration and testing.

The developer shall participate in CSCI/HWCI integration and testing. The testing shall be in accordance with the CSCI/HWCI integration test cases and procedures.

5.10.3 Revision and retesting.

The developer shall make necessary revisions to the software, participate in all necessary retesting, and update the appropriate software development files (SDFs) and other software products as needed, based on the results of CSCI/HWCI integration and testing.

5.10.4 Analyzing and recording CSCI/HWCI integration and test results.

The developer shall participate in analyzing the results of CSCI/HWCI integration and testing. Software-related analysis and test results shall be recorded in appropriate software development files (SDFs).
