Table 1. Requirements verification method for systems engineering technical processes

Category Verification method Description Reference data
I Inspection Inspection of documents such as design drawings or verification based on similarity data Inspection- Drawings, design review- Bill of materials- Technical Description/specification/publication- Material and process- Standards or maintenance manual
Verification using various certification results at the component level Qualification - Declaration of design and performance- Software qualification- Technical standard order (TSO)- Inspection on equipment- Test reports on equipment
A Analysis Verification of load, stress, performance, electrical load, etc. through theoretical or numerical analysis - Calculations(loads, stress, performance, etc.)- Theoretical checks- Functional analysis- Electrical loads analysis- Weight and center of gravity- Reliability/maintainability/safety analysis
D Demonstration Verification of operational performance through various non-measurement tests performed during the operation process of the satellite model (EM, QM, etc.) or demonstration on a satellite or payload mock-up or verification through simulation - Maintainability demonstration- Demonstration on mock-up- Inspection on spacecraft or system- Demonstration on simulation bench (dynamic demo)- Flight test simulator
T Test Validate results with testing at the part level, prototype or development model level. - Laboratory test reports- Bench test reports- ETB test reports- Ground test reports
EM, engineering model; QM, qualification model; ETB, electrical test bed.
