Return to Part 1 Requirements

Evidence SHALL identify recorded information supporting a claim.

Part 1, Section 13.4: Core Conceptual Element Requirements.

Evidence provides recorded information that supports a claim made by the architecture, an implementation profile, a deployment profile, a test activity, or an operational observation. Defining Evidence as a conceptual element makes verification and audit support explicit.

This requirement preserves the role of Evidence as support for claims rather than as a substitute for the claims themselves.

This requirement applies to Evidence references within the Conceptual Architecture.

It applies specifically to:

• Recorded information
• Architectural claims
• Verification claims
• Audit support
• Evidence traceability

Verification SHALL confirm that Evidence identifies recorded information supporting a claim.

Verification activities include review checks confirming that:

• Evidence references identify recorded information
• Evidence references identify the supported claim
• Evidence does not replace the architectural claim
• Evidence links support traceability from claim to recorded support
