ANNEX A: PROCESS OBJECTIVES AND OUTPUTS BY SOFTWARE LEVEL
This annex provides guidelines for the software life cycle process objectives and outputs described in
this document by software level. These tables reference the objectives and outputs of the software life
cycle processes previously described in this document.
The tables include guidelines for:
a. The process objectives applicable for each software level. For level E software, see paragraph
2.2.2.
b. The independence by software level of the software life cycle process activities applicable to
satisfy that process's objectives.
c. The control category by software level for the software life cycle data produced by the software
life cycle process activities (subsection 7.3).

Note:
(1) Although the software configuration management objectives of section 7 do not vary
with software level, the control category assigned to the software life cycle data may
vary.
(2) The objectives of section 7 provide a sufficient integrity basis in the SCM process
activities without the need for the independence criteria.
