Dates March 1999 - September 2002
Problem This proposal will address NASA's need to evaluate the cost and benefits ofapplying IV&V technologies. A prototype is to be developed that will provide financial valuation of IV&V for a given program. The prototype will be developed using an iterative process that will incrementally implement the models and methodology researched and developed during prior years of this effort. The tool will be evaluated for usability through limited use scenarios with NASA program managers.
Objective The IV&V valuation methodology will be iteratively refined based on feedbackfrom NASA program managers and statistical evaluation of the methodology and results. Specific factors to be proven:Hypothesis 1: The cost relative to the potential benefits of IV&V is inverselyproportional to the capability maturity of the development organization.Hypothesis 2: The realization of potential IV&V benefits is directly related tothe development organizations' acceptance of IV&V
