14、age 5 of 20 CHECK THE MASTER LIST VERIFY THAT THIS IS THE CORRECT VERSION BEFORE USE 1. SCOPE/PURPOSE 1.1. Introduction The purpose of this plan is to define the implementation of the Marshall Space Flight Center (MSFC) software development process improvement effort and to document MSFC support of
15、the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Software Engineering Initiative Implementation Plan. In compliance with the NASA Engineering and Program/Project Management Policy NPD 7120.4, a major benefit that MSFC derives from the implementation of this initiative is improved software de
16、velopment and acquisition processes enabling MSFC to develop and acquire higher quality software. A major focus of this effort is to improve the processes and practices in use at MSFC by continually measuring the level of process maturity against the Software Engineering Institutes Capability Maturi
17、ty Model-Integration (CMMI) for development. In accordance with MWI 7120.4, this document adheres to the mandatory template for a MSFC Technical Standard document. Sections 1 through 3 of the center plan required content as defined in Appendix C of the NASA Software Engineering Initiative Implementa
18、tion Plan are addressed in Section 1.1, Section 1.2, and Section 1.3 of this plan, respectively. 1.2. Goal The goal of the NASA Software Engineering Initiative Implementation Plan is to “advance software engineering practices to effectively meet the scientific and technological objectives of NASA.”
19、The goal of the MSFC Software Engineering Improvement Plan is to improve the quality of software produced by MSFC, in terms of planning, implementation, testing, and support. These goals are realized by addressing the following areas: a. Improvement in software engineering processes across MSFC. b.
20、Improvement in software acquisition processes on MSFC contracts. c. Collection and use of software metrics in the management of software development projects. d. Professional development for the MSFC software engineers. e. Research in software process and product improvement techniques and methods.
21、1.2.1. Rationale for Implementing this Plan The highest priority of this plan is to improve NASAs capability to deliver safe, reliable, quality software that meets system and software requirements. Rationale for continuous software engineering improvement includes: Provided by IHSNot for ResaleNo re

Reduction in the ris
23、k of mission failure. b. Reduction in cost and schedule overruns. c. Fulfillment of mission performance requirements. d. Provision for uniform procurement policies to ensure quality of software. e. Ability to deal effectively with the growing scope and complexity of software systems. (1) Exponential
24、 growth in scope, size, and complexity of software is expected to continue. Ground and flight software represent an ever increasing share of the end-to-end system. Growth stresses our capability to manage and engineer software systems effectively. (2) Safety, quality and reliability of software syst
25、ems are at risk. 1.2.2. Benefits The primary motivation for implementing this software engineering improvement plan is to assure and improve the quality of software products developed by and/or for MSFC. The following subsections address benefits anticipated for Project Managers/Lead System Engineer
26、s/Chief Engineers, MSFC Management, and Software Engineering resulting from the improvement activities. 1.2.2.1. Project Manager/Lead System Engineer/Chief Engineer a. Identification and recommendation of key software management metrics. b. Assessment of existing software engineering processes. c. A
