ANNEX V U.K. TOOLS AND SOFTWARE REQUIREMENTS REFERRED TO IN ARTICLE 8

1. Tools used to support or automate aeronautical data and aeronautical information processes shall meet the requirements of points 2 and 3, where the tool: U.K.

• has the potential to create errors in critical or essential data items,

• is the sole means of detecting errors in critical or essential data items,

• is the sole means of detecting discrepancies between multiple versions of manually entered data.

2. For the tools referred to in point 1, performance, functionality and integrity level requirements shall be defined to ensure that the tool performs its function within the data process without adversely impacting the quality of aeronautical data or aeronautical information. U.K.

3. The tools referred to in point 1 shall be validated and verified against the requirements referred to in point 2. U.K.

4. The tools referred to in point 1, which are implemented fully or partially in software, shall satisfy the following additional requirements: U.K.

• the software requirements shall correctly state what is required by the software in order to satisfy the tool requirements,

• all software requirements shall be traceable to the tool requirements referred to in point 2,

• the validation and verification of software, as defined in points 5 and 6 respectively, shall be applied to a known executable version of the software in its target operating environment.

5. The validation of software means the process of ensuring that software meets the requirements for the specified application or intended use of the aeronautical data or aeronautical information. U.K.

6. The verification of software means the evaluation of the output of an aeronautical data and/or aeronautical information software development process to ensure correctness and consistency with respect to the inputs and applicable software standards, rules and conventions used in that process. U.K.
