Return to Part 1 Requirements

Statement

Source

Part 1, Section 13.4: Core Conceptual Element Requirements.

Rationale

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.

Applies To

This requirement applies to Evidence references within the Conceptual Architecture.

It applies specifically to:

Verification

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

Verification activities include review checks confirming that:
