Processes for Engineering a System

| Representative tasks | Expected outcomes | ||
|---|---|---|---|
| a) Acquire products (Goods or Services) | Hardware, software, firmware end products, or composites of end products built or coded to their specified requirements, drawings or descriptive documents; or other needed physical entities [for example, trained personnel, certified facilities, special techniques (manual procedures or processes), manuals)] are acquired. Hardware items were (1) purchased off- the-shelf from a supplier or vendor; (2) fabricated in-house; or (3) from in-house, off-the- shelf supply. Software items were (1) purchased from a supplier or vendor; (2) coded in- house; or (3) reused. | ||
| b) Validate acquired products | Acquired products are validated that each acquired end product or aggregation of end products is in conformity with its user, customer, or assigned requirements. Invoked the End Products Validation Process, Requirement 33.
| ||
| c) Assemble/integrate validated end products | End products or aggregations of end products already validated are physically integrated or assembled into the required test article or the end product that will be verified and delivered to an acquirer. | ||
| d) Verify integrated end products | End products are verified that each end product of the system under development complies with its specified requirements. Invoked the System Verification Process, Requirement 31. | ||
| e) Verify enabling products for each associated process | Enabling products for production, test, deployment/installation, training,... |
