Subsystem Verification Step Description

Once components are verified and integrated into subsystems, these higher level assemblies are also individually verified before being integrated with others to produce yet larger assemblies, until the complete system has been integrated and verified.

Purpose

The purpose of this step is to verify that each subsystem meets the requirements defined for it (in the high level design step of the process).

Activities

The following key activities are performed.

Develop Subsystem Verification Procedures. If a subsystem verification plan was developed (in the earlier High Level Design step), then detailed procedures must be written to perform the subsystem verifications. These procedures define the exact steps that will be undertaken to verify each requirement assigned to the subsystem.
Integrate components into subsystems. Components are integrated into subsystems (from a hardware viewpoint) or modules are combined into applications (from a software viewpoint).
Perform Subsystem Verification. The subsystem requirements are verified using the Subsystem Verification procedures defined above.
