P1-REQ-13-7-003
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 artifacts
-
PSM artifacts
-
Logical-to-implementation trace links
-
Platform-specific realization
-
Implementation 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 realize
-
PSM artifacts identify the logical elements they realize
-
Implementation artifacts do not redefine logical elements
-
Trace links support review from logical element to implementation artifact
