SQA Assessment Observations

16 SQA Assessments Completed EH participated in 5 assessments EH review in progress Assessments are ongoing

SQA Program Implementation Level of implementation varies across the complex SQA procedures are established at some sites and under

development at others Control of authorized users of software needs improvement Procedures for legacy software need to be more clearly

defined Multiple assessments may be needed to verify SQA program

implementation at some sites

9

SQA Assessment Observations (cont.)

CRAD’s Could be combined to eliminate duplication Supplemental criteria added for some SQA

assessments SQA Documentation

Configuration management (version control) and documentation for internally developed software needs to be strengthened

COTS software documentation generally adequate. Error reporting and corrective action needs to be strengthened
