Large nuclear analysis and safety computer codes written more than five years ago pose a unique problem from the standpoint of Software Quality Assurance (SQA). Most SQA techniques designed to manage the life cycle of new software development do not adequately address the risk factors of software developed before these methodologies were well-defined or practiced. By defining the risks as related to factors such as correctness, reliability, maintainability, or portability, existing tools are used to assess these risks and provide an indication of the quality of the software. |
