Abstract

The author addresses the software development standard for the Department of Defense, DOD-STD-2167A, and makes recommendations for improving the delivered software product. It is concluded that although DOD-STD-2167A is a valid, well-designed process for software development, following this process does not guarantee success. The Air Force must strive to manage not only the process, but also the quality of the software. In order to accomplish this, Air Force personnel must strive to maintain high levels of technical competence in the software field. DOD-STD-2167A is a process by which quality software can be obtained. In order to ensure the acquisition of quality software, the process must be implemented correctly by technically oriented personnel
