Synoptix supported the development of a system that provides digital protection against remotely triggered bombs. The request was to take an architectural model of a solution and develop a set of functional and non-functional requirements to ensure that the final capability would be acceptable to the end user/customer.    

Our approach

• We transformed an architectural model into a set of traceable system requirements (functional and non-functional) by:

• Collaborating with transversal teams (e.g. HF, Safety, Environmental)

• Developing system requirements set from the system architecture and derived requirements down to device level

• Maturing the requirements by specifying the relevant V&V activities and desired outcomes to achieve acceptance 

• Reflecting back the refined system components into the architecture model to support a gap analysis with the full system

• Taking ownership of key sub-systems and liaising with sub-system suppliers from design through to integration

Benefits

We delivered a traceable set of system requirements, with associated functional and non-functional requirements, measurements of performance and the relevant V&V activities for assurance and acceptance, which were required to pass the project CDR.

We also assisted in the development of a complete system architecture which supported the requirements for CDR, and provided continued support through to the integration and test phase of the project to ensure the right equipment was delivered to time, performance and cost.
