Description of Driving Event:
Improvement in the Software Development Process for the International Space Station Program
Lesson(s) Learned:
There has been a marked improvement in the software development process for the ISS.
Recommendation(s):
By no means have all problems been solved, and there is still much to be done. Continue the focused efforts.
Evidence of Recurrence Control Effectiveness:
NASA agrees with the recommendation. A strong management focus on the software development process for the ISS will continue. These include weekly status reports concerning the prime contractor and product group developments and strong interaction at the design and test reviews. To ensure progress does not slip, the prime contractor has initiated several activities, including additional shift work, new hiring, and developer/tester teaming arrangements.
