The developer shall establish a software development environment in accordance with the following requirements.
Note: If a system or CSCI is developed in multiple builds, establishing the software development environment in each build should be interpreted to mean establishing the environment needed to complete that build.
The developer shall establish, control, and maintain a software engineering environment to perform the software engineering effort. The developer shall ensure that each element of the environment performs its intended functions.
The developer shall establish, control, and maintain a software test environment to perform qualification, and possibly other, testing of software. The developer shall ensure that each element of the environment performs its intended functions.
The developer shall establish, control, and maintain a software development library (SDL) to facilitate the orderly development and subsequent support of software. The SDL may be an integral part of the software engineering and test environments. The developer shall maintain the SDL for the duration of the contract.
The developer shall establish, control, and maintain a software development file (SDF) for each software unit or logically related group of software units, for each CSCI, and, as applicable, for logical groups of CSCIs, for subsystems, and for the overall system. The developer shall record information about the development of the software in appropriate SDFs and shall maintain the SDFs for the duration of the contract.
The developer may use non-deliverable software in the development of deliverable software as long as the operation and support of the deliverable software after delivery to the acquirer do not depend on the non-deliverable software or provision is made to ensure that the acquirer has or can obtain the same software. The developer shall ensure that all non-deliverable software used on the project performs its intended functions.
