Software is rarely completely done at the end of a project. There may be bugs uncovered or additional criteria that must be implemented. Planning out a process for the maintenance of the software is crucial. A large part of the software maintenance is to preserve its integrity as changes are made. Any changes should be logged and tracked. You must also put criteria in place when certain software needs to be retired or migrated.
In this assignment you will complete SDP Section 8, Validation and Verification.
