Hardware Development

Hardware Development Process

• Hardware Design
  • Documented Product Specifications / Design objectives
  • Follow documented design and development practices
    • Internal design audits, traceable to product specifications
    • Conduct customer reviews / audits (SRR, PDR, CDR, MRR/PRR)
• Manufacturing
  • All manufacturing is subcontracted
  • Use preferred ISO certified suppliers
  • Competitive bids based on cost, schedule, quality, technical ability
• Test and Verification
  • Acceptance Test Criteria traceable to product specifications
  • VTI performs, or oversees, all Acceptance Test activities
  • Customer witnesses / audits AT activities, at their discretion
• Documentation
  • All products are fully documented
    • User Guides/Manuals, Installation guides, application examples 

Software Development

Software Development according to quality standards and procedures

• VTI Software methodologies contain six phases:
• 1. System Definition
  2. Preliminary design
  3. Detailed design
  4. Design Implementation
  5. System Integration and Test
  6. System Acceptance
• Processes follow industry standard software development practices and procedures
• VTI processes certified by Honeywell DSES for Category 2 Flight Software development

Fully Documented Software Product Development

• Software Development Plan (SDP)
• Software Requirements Specification (SRS, DFS part 1)
• Software Design Document (SDD, DFS part 2)
• Software Test and Traceability (STT)
• Software Test Description (STD)
• Software Test Report (STR)
• Version Description Document (VDD)
• Software Users Guide (SUG)
• Software Reference Manual (SRM)
• Product Acceptance Plan (PAP)
