Note: The IV&V Execution Plan (IPEP) documents the activities, methods, level of rigor, environments, tailoring (if any) of the IV&V requirements, and criteria to be used in performing verification and validation of in-scope system/software behaviors (including responsible software components) determined by the planning and scoping effort. A Provider should use a documented analysis approach to track and manage the IV&V effort aligned with ongoing development project efforts. The IPEP documents which software products are subject to which analyses and which analysis requirements are wholly, partially, or not applied following the risk assessment and resource constraints. The IPEP also serves as a communication tool between the project and IV&V to set expectations for the IV&V products produced throughout the life The IPEP may require updating throughout the life cycle.
