4.4.2.0 The responsible project manager shall ensure the performance of the IV&V requirements, as defined in section 4.4.2 of this standard. The IV&V requirements in this section of the standard apply to any project required to have IV&V per the criteria defined in the NASA Software Engineering Requirements, NPR 7150.2. The IV&V requirements apply to all IV&V efforts performed on a software development project, as tailored by the IV&V Project Execution Plan. The IV&V requirements also serve as the definition of what NASA considers IV&V. IV&V is a risk mitigation activity, and as such, the application of IV&V analysis and the rigor of that analysis is driven by the IV&V provider’s assessment of software risk.
