Abstract

This report presents a software methodology for JPL Deep Space Network (DSN) data systems software implementations through transfer and delivery. The DSN Data Systems Software Methodology is compatible with and depends on DSN software methodology and also incorporates the characteristics of real-time program development in a DSN environment. The DSN Data Systems software implementation consists of a series of six distinct phases: (a) planning and requirements, (b) design definition, (c) design and production, (d) combined subsystem testing, (e) acceptance test and transfer, (f) operation and maintenance, The unit (function) demonstration tests during the design and production phase will be planned early in the design definition phase. Each demonstration will serve as a significant milestone and will show an increased program capability. An Independent Group (IG) is responsible for verification and validation of the DSN Data Systems software during development phases. The DSN Data Systems Software Methodology is being applied to all development software provided for or by the DSN Data Systems Section in Mark IV where there is a desire for reliability, maintainability, and usability within budget and schedule constraints.
