Return to Part 1 Requirements

Statement

An Implementation Profile / PSM artifact SHALL trace to the logical element it realizes.

Source

Part 1, Section 13.7: Traceability Requirements.

Rationale

Implementation Profile and PSM artifacts realize logical elements in a selected technology or platform context. Traceability to the logical element preserves the relationship between platform-specific realization and platform-independent design.

This requirement prevents implementation artifacts from appearing without architectural purpose or from redefining logical meaning.

Applies To

This requirement applies to Implementation Profile and PSM artifacts.

It applies specifically to:

Implementation Profile artifactsPSM artifactsLogical-to-implementation trace linksPlatform-specific realizationImplementation mappings

Verification

Verification SHALL confirm that each Implementation Profile / PSM artifact traces to the logical element it realizes.

Verification activities include review checks confirming that:

Implementation artifacts identify the logical elements they realizePSM artifacts identify the logical elements they realizeImplementation artifacts do not redefine logical elementsTrace links support review from logical element to implementation artifact
