Product Assurance of Software Reuse in the SPICE for Space Framework

Authors

Abstract

This paper describes the main conclusions of the PA-PDS study . This is a European Space Agency study about the reuse of Pre-Developed Software (PDS) in space projects, using S4S (SPICE for Space) as the framework. The main objective of this study is to define the product assurance requirements to support the acquisition, evaluation, integration and maintenance of PDS to be reused in a new development of a space system. The method proposed for reuse of PDS is described, particularly the main requirements to follow. The project has considered technical and organisational viewpoints. Both the perspective of occasional (or informal) reuse and systematic reuse are addressed.
