DAF — Reword "Suggested conformance points"

  • Key: DAF-10
  • Status: closed  
  • Source: Object Management Group ( Andrew Watson)
  • Summary:

    In the conformance section (section 2) of sysa/14-11-01, it's not clear what is meant by "suggested conformance points". Are these "optional conformance points"? If so, what parts of the specification is it mandatory for implementers to provide to claim conformance to the specification?

  • Disposition: Resolved — DAF 1.0
  • Disposition Summary:

    Conformance section is to be modified

    The "suggested" indicates ambiguity for comformance point. So, we are going to remove the word "suggested" to specify mandatory conformance points.

    OLD :
    In this Dependability Assurance Framework for Safety-Sensitive Consumer Devices (SSCD) Specification, suggested conformance points are Dependability Conceptual Model, Dependability Assurance Case, and Dependability Process Model. DAC templates shall confirm to SACM.
    This specification is intended to be an umbrella specification, which allows several existing specifications/standards either by OMG or other standardization bodies in a single framework.

    For any specification/standard of a specific SSCD to be in conformance with the Dependability Conceptual Model requires that the conceptual model of the standard/specification shall include all models in DCM. It shall extend DCM specified in this specification to support new dependability, assurance and process concepts for that specific SSCD as long as it will not cause any semantic inconsistency between DCM and the new conceptual model.

    For conformance to Dependability Assurance Case, argumentation for SSCD dependability shall follow the argument structure specified in the clause 8.

    For conformance to Dependability Process Model, the development process for SSCD shall follow the process defined in clause 9.

    For conformance to Dependability Process Model, the development process for SSCD shall follow the process defined in clause 9.
