Automation of satellite requirement verification

This paper discusses how the Manufacturing and Operations Information System (MOIS) is being enhanced to interoperate with the Dynamic Object-Oriented Requirements Systemtrade (DOORStrade) and the Integrated Test and Operations System (ITOS) to provide an automated verification environment called the Integrated Satellite Test Suite (ISTS). This suite facilitates the development of test procedures; their association with the requirements from which they are derived; the execution of these procedures on a typical test platform; the automatic association of the verification status; and the generation of requirements verification documentation. It is also demonstrated how the use of the integrated configuration management tools assist in the management of the satellite manufacturing process
