Software Engineering Documents
Software engineering work products serve many purposes: they guide future work, they explain past work, they allow us to assess current work. In many cases, work product take the form of documents (either hardcopy or electronic). But what should they look like. This section provides pointers to a broad array of document outlines and templates.
Software Engineering Document Outlines developed by RSP&A

The Reusable Software Management Plan (SMP)
An on-line help tool was developed by NASA to help flight software managers develop required software management plans. The tool consists of the text for a software management plan written in accordance with the Management Plan DID (NASA-DID-M000) of the NASA Software Documentation Standard (NASA-STD-210091) and on-line support for tailoring the plan to individual software projects:
Configuration Management Plan - Model Text
This example SCM model plan text provides a framework which can be adapted to specific projects.
Software Test Plan - Sample
A comprehensive test plan example is presented. Also inlcude links to many other test plan examples and templates.
