- >What is "Mil-Std 2167/2167A"?
-
- DOD-STD-2167/2167A ("MIL" was incorrect) is the standard of the US
- Department of Defense for System Software Development. While not
- requiring a particular software design methodology, it makes some
- broad assumptions about a contractor's development process.
-
- Specifically, it assumes that development begins with the analysis
- and definition of the software requirements, and then proceeds to
- a high-level design phase, followed in turn by a detailed design
- phase, a coding phase, an integration-and-test phase, and an
- acceptance test phase.
-
- Regardless of whether or not a software developer is contracting for
- the US Department of Defense, using the framework of DOD-STD-2167/2167A
- provides one of the best (if not *the* best) "insurance policies" for
- successfully traversing the Product Life-Cycle.
