Software technologies include technology directly used in the objective system (including Commercial Off-The-Shelf [COTS]), Open Source Software (OSS), technology used in tools that produce or maintain software, and process technologies that are being applied to produce or maintain software. Ensure that the software TRA is appropriately incorporated into the independent system TRA. Ensure software-related exit criteria are defined for Milestone B.
